Galileo used inclines similar to the one shown below to measure the distance balls of various weights would
travel in equal time intervals. The conclusions that Galileo reached from these experiments were contrary to
the prevailing Aristotelian theories on the subject, and he lost his post at the University of Pisa because of
them.
An experiment with an incline and three balls produced the following results. The three balls are each the
same size; however, ball A has a mass of 20 grams, ball B has a mass of 40 grams, and ball C has a mass of
80 grams.
Distance traveled, in inches
Time, in seconds
Ball A (20 grams) Ball B (40 grams) Ball C (80 grams)
1 6 6 6
2 24 24 24
3 54 54 54
4 96 96 96
Use the above table and inductive reasoning to answer the question.
How far will one of the balls travel in 1.5 seconds?
13.5 inches
