Questions and Answers

What did Galileo Galilei discover about the movement of objects down inclined planes?

  • The velocity of the ball changed because the speed of the ball was changing (correct)
  • The objects moved at a constant velocity regardless of the incline angle
  • The acceleration of the objects remained constant throughout the motion
  • The mass of the object affected its velocity on the incline
  • What is the concept of inertia?

  • The ability of an object to maintain a constant speed
  • The force exerted by an object in motion
  • An object's tendency to resist change in its state of motion (correct)
  • The measure of an object's velocity
  • What did Galileo's experiments with inclined planes demonstrate?

  • The relationship between mass and velocity
  • The rate of change of velocity, known as acceleration (correct)
  • The impact of friction on velocity
  • The constant speed of objects on inclines
  • How did Galileo support his scientific conclusions?
