Galilei believed that an object in uniform motion will travel a distance proportional to the time. His idea is where the concept of acceleration is first introduced.

Ideas Regarding Motion:Aristotle vs. Galilei
MY VIEW OF MOTION IS CALLED "IMPETUS" WHICH MAKES AN OBJECT MOVE
WELL FOR ME, MY VIEW OF MOTION IS "FRICTION" OR THE PUSH AND PULL ACTION THAT AFFECTS AN OBJECT'S MOTION
Aristotle believed that the speed of an object is determined by the amount of force divided by the environmental resistance. He called this force "Impetus".

Galilei
AS YOU CAN SEE GALILEO AND THE AUDIENCE THE HEAVIER ONES IS MUCH FASTER TO FALL THAN THE LIGHT ONES BECAUSE IT IS IN THE NATURE OF FALLING THE HEAVY OBJECTS SEEK THEIR NATURAL PLACE FASTER THAN THE LIGHT ONES
He demonstrated his view by dropping two objects with different weights from a tower, proving that size and mass don't matter as gravity causes them to fall at the same rate.
NO, YOU'RE WRONG ARISTOTLE, THE OBJECTS FALLS AT THE SAME RATE BECAUSE IN THE ABSENCE OF AIR RESISTANCE, GRAVITY CAUSES THE OBJECT TO FALL AT THE SAME RATE
Aristotle on the other hand, only made qualitative statements based on his observation, which is that a falling object gains speed according to the distance it had fallen. He had no way of measuring this, but it sounded reasonable, so it was taken as fact.
