distance equals initial velocity times change in time interval plus half of accerlation plus time interval squared
Galileo didn't discover a mathematical relationship for distance traveled when an object is being accelerated, as the maths only became possible when Issac Newton invented the calculus (partly for the reason of finding such a relationship). Galileo did discover objects accelerated at the same rate independent of mass in the gravitational field (a 10kg stone will hit the ground the same time as a 1kg stone if ignoring air) He suggested such experiments as dropping stones off the leaning tower of Pisa.
Galileo Galilei was and is sometimes referred to as "the father of experimental science." Galileo didn't take much on faith, rather, he tested his ideas through experiments and expressed them in mathematical form.
