QUESTION:
What relationship did Galileo discover about a ball’s acceleration and the steepness of an incline? What acceleration occurs when the plane is vertical?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The acceleration of a ball rolling down an inclined plane increased as the angle of the incline of the plane also increased. The maximum acceleration was reached when the incline was completely vertical which will be the same acceleration as a free falling object.
