C)eliminate all changes in speed.
D)eliminate friction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galileo's use of inclined planes in his experiments allowed him to slow down the ball's changes in speed, making it easier to measure and observe the effects of gravity and acceleration. This method did not eliminate changes in speed or friction, nor did it reduce the time of the ball's changes in speed; it simply made the acceleration due to gravity more manageable to study.
