In the situation pictured in question $3,$ if there is a frictional force opposing the motion of the block, does this frictional force do work on the block? Explain.
Suppose the incline in part b is now placed on a frictionless table. Is the net force on the block always zero? Explain. Frictionless: ii. Is the net force on the incline always zero? Explain. iii. Is the net force on the block-incline system always zero? Explain. iv. Is the momentum of the block conserved? Explain. Is the momentum of the incline conserved? Explain. vi. Is the momentum of the block-incline system conserved? Explain.
