He wanted to, demonstrate the rate that objects of different sizes and weight fell. He found that regardless of weight and size, the objects, in this case cannonballs, hit the ground at the same time.

Who used the telescope to prove Kepler's math was correct?
It was Galileo.
What year did Galileo prove the Aristotle theory wrong?
Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
Who was Galileo and what did he do How did he prove the heliocentric theory?
He was an Italian scientist of the 17th century. He did not prove the heliocentric theory. But everyone accepts the heliocentric principle now, after it was proved right; but that happened long after Galileo's time, after new scientific discoveries in the latter half of the 1600s.
What invention used by Galileo helped prove Copernicus theory that the earth revolves around the sun?
The astronomical telescope.
How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
What was the idea which Galileo wished to prove?
that he was awesome :)
