Laws, theorie Question 4 of 10
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object
depends on the force exerted on it, divided by its mass. This law can be
summarized by the equation F = mx a.
Why is this a law and not a theory?
A. Newton's statement involves mathematics. A theory is a
description based on observations,
OB. Newton's statement describes the relationship between mass,
acceleration, and force. A law is an explanation of natural events.
O C. Newton's statement is supported by research. A theory is only an
educated guess
D. Newton's statement has been proved with scientific evidence. A
theory can change when new evidence is found that does not
support the theory
