As the angle of the incline increases, what happens to the normal force?

• The normal force increases

• The normal force decreases

• The normal force is not affected by the incline

• The normal force is only dependent on the force due to gravity

The Earth pulls downward on a pingpong ball with a force  of 1N. If this is the "action" force, what is the "reaction" force?

• The ground exerts a force of 1N on the ping pong ball
• The ping pong ball exerts a force of 1 N on the Earth
• The ping pong ball pushes down on the earth with a force of 1N
• The is no reaction force when a gravitational force is involved

Given the FBD, which of the following must be true?

• The frictional force must be accelerating the system to the left.

• The box must be accelerating to the right.

• The box must be moving to the right.

• The FBD is incorrectly drawn. This situation isn't possible
