Galileo did not invent any law -- physical laws are not 'invented'; they can be discovered, or hypothesised. What Galileo did was to set out his ideas about falling bodies, and about projectiles in general, in a book called "Two New Sciences", which eventually became the cornerstone of modern physics.
Having established (experimentally) that heavy objects fall at practically the same rate, Galileo mused the central question 'how does the speed vary during the fall?' He asked, in 'Two New Sciences': "But tell me, gentlemen, is it not true that if a block be allowed to fall upon a stake from a height of four cubits and drive it into the earth, say, four finger-breadths, that coming from a height of two cubits it will drive the stake a much less distance; and finally if the block be lifted only one finger-breadth how much more will it accomplish than if merely laid on top of the stake without percussion? Certainly very little. If it be lifted only the thickness of a leaf, the effect will be altogether imperceptible. And since the effect of the blow depends upon the velocity of this striking body, can any one doubt the motion is very slow .. whenever the effect is imperceptible?"The question establishes that a falling body continues to pick up speed as it falls.
He went on to suggest: "A falling body accelerates uniformly: it picks up equal amounts of speed in equal time intervals, so that, if it falls from rest, it is moving twice as fast after two seconds as it was moving after one second, and moving three times as fast after three seconds as it was after one second."
His experimets, long and complicated, are beyond the scope of this brief article.
What else can I help you with?
What is Galileo's law of odd multiples?
Galileo's law of odd multiples states that the distance an object falls is proportional to the square of the time it takes to fall. In other words, the distance an object falls is related to the amount of time it has been falling squared. This law was fundamental in understanding the acceleration due to gravity.
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 is the scientist who proposed the relationship force mass x acceleration?
That's Newton's second law of motion. That is totally impossible to INVENT. The formula was there. Nobody created it, they proved it.
How are the works of Galileo and Newton related?
I think that Galileo died during the same year Newton was born. Galileo Also Discovered Intertia Leading Isaac Newton To Make The First Law Of Motion Using What Galileo Had Discovered Hope this helped :)
WHAT IS GALILEO'S THEOREM?
Galileo's theorem, often referred to as the law of falling bodies, states that in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This principle was established by Galileo Galilei through his experiments and observations, notably the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment. He demonstrated that the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects, leading to the understanding that gravitational acceleration is independent of the object's weight. This laid the groundwork for classical mechanics and challenged the prevailing Aristotelian view of motion.

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).

What law is the reason rockets work?
Galileo's law
The first person to recognize that motions add and subtract from each other?
Isaac Newton's Third law of motion: every action has an equal and opposite reaction Second Law: Force=mass(acceleration) Or you might consider Galileo as the first.
Who created the law of free fall?
I'm pretty sure Galileo Galileo

What is Galileo's law of odd numbers?
Galileo (1564-1642) was the first to determine, at the start of the seventeenth century, the law of constant acceleration of free-falling bodies. The law states that the distances traveled are proportional to the squares of the elapsed times. In other words, in equal successive periods of time, the distances traveled by a free-falling body are proportional to the succession of odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).
