A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined plane then stopped. It is expected that the block to start sliding back down the inclined plane but it did not. It just sat there near the top. What is your explanation why the block stopped and did not begin sliding again?

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

explanation:

because they are cartillidge

fgravity=10x10=100n case 1

fgravity=30x20=600n case 2
