A wooden block each is placed on a wooden table and a wooden ramp, as shown. The blocks are identical in all respects. Ten gram weights are added to the pans. The block placed on the ramp begins to move first. Which statement explains this observation?
A)
B)
Eliminate
The block placed on the ramp becomes nearly frictionless because of the
steep angle of the ramp.
The wooden surface of the ramp experiences a loss in friction because of
the steep abgle of the ramp.
The block on the ramp overcomes friction faster because a component of
its weight helps push it along the surface.
The block and the surface of the ramp cancel out the friction exerted on
nach other hecause they are made of the same material
