Answer:

Galileo

Step-by-step explanation:

Galileo formulated the law of free falling bodies that distance traveled by falling bodies are proportional to the squares of the time elapsed.

Galileo confirmed the model of heliocentric universe given previously by Copernicus that the whole universe revolves around the sun . His observation of movement of Venus helped him prove this model.
