Answer to Question 1

Answer: The gravity force parallel to the surface must be greater than the resisting strength. If the resisting strength of the material is small, then objects move only on a low slope,. If the resisting strength is large, then objects only move on a steep slope. Slope angle is also very important in determining motion, as driving forces increase with increasing slope angle, and resisting strength increases with decreasing slope angle.
