B) increase the acceleration beyond that of free fall.
C) slow down the acceleration of free fall.
D) eliminate friction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galileo's use of inclined planes slowed down the acceleration due to gravity, making it easier to measure and observe the motion of objects. This method did not eliminate or increase the acceleration of free fall, nor did it eliminate friction, but it allowed for a more manageable study of the principles of motion.
