-As a consequence of Newton's Second Law, objects placed on an incline sometimes experience a net force, and accelerate down the slope. At other times, the force of friction is enough to prevent acceleration.  There are two keys to determining what will happen:
-* understanding the relationship between the force of gravity and the normal force; and
-* understanding the relationship between the normal force and the friction force.
-The [[https://www.scienceoftech.net/phy/sliding-block.html|interactive page]], captured in the image below, will place a block on a slope.  What will happen when you press start?

-The Discover tab allows you to play with the variables, study the vectors, and watch the resulting motion.
-The Explore tab introduces two different grid perspectives that make the vectors easier to understand.
-The Master tab doesn't do anything yet, but should eventually offer an array of initial conditions and ask for a prediction about the resulting motion.
-The More tab leads here.
