1. Explain in your own words how friction affects the motion of an object on an inclined plane.
2. Draw a free body diagram for a block resting on an inclined plane. Label all forces acting on the block, including the force of gravity and its components.
3. A box is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of 25°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 0.4. Will the box slide down the plane? Explain your reasoning, including any relevant calculations.
