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).

Isaac Newton discovered the universal law of gravitation in 1687.


What is the law of force and acceleration and what does it show?

The law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration, and that is what the law shows.


Who discovered acceleration?

Acceleration as a concept was not discovered by a single individual, but it was first formally described by Sir Isaac Newton in his laws of motion. Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.


What name of the second law?

How do newtons law of motion explain why objects fall to earth?

Newton's 2nd law F=ma explains that objects will move in the direction of the acceleration a. The object is subject to an acceleration, in this case the acceleration is g= GM/r2 toward earth. Newton discovered this acceleration in. his law of universal Gravitation, F=mGM/r2 This is why objects fall to earth. F=ma says that the force required to produce an acceleration is proportional to mass. The moon does not move in the direction of the acceleration. It accelerates but contiously misses falling onto the earth because it is moving sideways. For ordinarary falling objects, the force of gravity pulls them down, since they are not moving sideways fast enough to miss the earth. It's the law of gravity working here not the law of motion.

An apple acceterates as it fall from tree what law is that?

The law that describes the acceleration of an apple falling from a tree is Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.


Who discovered the value for acceleration of gravity?

The value for acceleration of gravity was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th century. He determined that the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
