Galileo’s law of odd numbersThe distances traversed, during equal intervals of time, by a body falling from rest, stand to one another in the ratio:
 

1. as the odd numbers beginning with unity.
2. as the even numbers beginning with unity.
3. as the square of odd numbers beginning with unity.
4. as the square of even numbers beginning with unity.
