Sophia: Objects Sliding on an Inclined Plane: Lesson 1

This lesson explains what forces are action on objects which are sliding across an inclined plane. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Objects Sliding on an Inclined Plane."

Investigate which forces are acting on an object resting on an inclined plane.

This lesson demonstrates how to draw free-body diagrams for objects at rest or sliding on an inclined plane. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Representing Forces on an Inclined Plane."

It is plane to see that simple machines help reduce the force needed to perform a task.  This resource introduces three of the simple machines--the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw, and  the formulas in order to be able...

Through examples and interactive practice problems, this physics tutorial helps students understand how forces behave on an object on an inclined plane.

Teaching about inclined planes may seem like an uphill battle, but there's a straightforward way to do it. An Honors Physics presentation covers static and kinetic friction, the forces of friction, and inclines. Additionally,...

Here is a simulation demonstrating an object placed on an inclined plane. The user will vary the slope of the plane to see the relationship the slope has on the gravity of the object and the static friction.
