The law in question, Newton's second law, is first introduced to students as an equation between variables which are very intuitive for the average person:

F = m*a, Force = mass * acceleration

Which is basically saying, if a massive object changes its motion, a force had to have been applied...duh right?

The amazing thing, is, that by mathematically defining these obvious statements, you soon are able to derive rules for energy, and you soon realize that from the inception of the universe too this exact time and place, the overall value of the energy in the universe has stayed exactly the same. From there, you are able to derive the entire theoretical basis of physics, and it would have never happened without F = m*a

How can nawtons first law be derived from newtons second law?

The Second Law is Force = Mass times Acceleration. The First Law can be derived from the Second Law by setting the Focre to zero or the Acceleration to zero;. No force = no acceleration; or No acceleration = no force.

What year discovered the law of acceleration?

There is no such thing as a "Law of Acceleration", at least, not in the sense of a commonly accepted physical law. There is a definition of acceleration as the rate of change of velocity (in symbols: a = dv/dt). Then, there are several formulae that relate acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity, time, etc. Perhaps you are referring to Newton's Second Law, which also involves acceleration (a = F/m, that is, acceleration = force divided by mass).
