Virtual Lab: Velocity and Acceleration on a Frictionless Inclined Plane, and Free Fall Theory: The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) discovered mathematical relationships that describe the motion of falling objects, and the motion of objects rolling down inclined planes. These equations paved the way for the subsequent development of the field of classical mechanics (the science of forces and motion) by the English physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, who was born the same year Galileo died....
