Galileo also measured the time it took for pendulums of different weights to swing back and forth and the acceleration of balls rolling down inclined planes of different lengths.
Galileo developed a thought experiment to answer this question. Thought experiments are hypothetical scenarios that generally cannot be tested due to practical considerations.

So how did he measure the acceleration? First, Galileo had to reduce the effect of gravity. To do this, he used an inclined plane.
According to Aristotle, whose writings had remained unquestioned for over a 1,000 years up until Galileo's time, not only did heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, but an object that ...
