galileo wanted to release a wooden ball and an iron ball from a height of 150 meters and measure the duration of their fall. he found a plane with an incline of 15 degrees that he could climb until he gets to an altitude of 150 m. how far should galileo walk up the inclined plane?

Answer:Step-by-step explanation:Alright, lets get started.Please refer the diagram I have attached.Suppose Galileo should walk x meters on 15 degree inclined plane, and then he will get the 150 meter altitude and he could perform his experiments with the balls.Now, using trigonometry, we know[tex]sin (angle) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]Means [tex]sin(15)=\frac{150}{x}[/tex]Plugging the value of sin 15[tex]0.2588=\frac{150}{x}[/tex]Hence,[tex]x = \frac{150}{0.2588}=579.56[/tex]So, Galileo must walk up 579.56 meters on inclined plane.  :  Answer
