The statement “force equals mass times acceleration” is newton’s second law of motion. why is this a law rather than a theory?

(a) it states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables.
(b) it cannot be proven, whereas a theory can be proven.
(c) it may be revised if new information shows that the relationship has changed.
(d) it was classified as a law because it is related to other similar discoveries.

I think the correct answer from the list of choices is option A. The statement “force equals mass times acceleration” is Newton’s second law of motion. It is a law rather than a theory because it states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables.

Answer;

(a) It states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables.

Explanation;Newton's second law states that, the change of momentum of an object is directly proportionate to the applied or resultant force. This means that the momentum’s change will take place in direction of applied force.This is a scientific law, which states the relationship between, force, mass and acceleration; that is F= ma. The law clarifies why force is proportional to acceleration and also describes the observation that would be made if an object or a body is pushed at a constant force.Additionally, the law was formulated from observations and experimentation and not from assumptions and guesses, that is why it is a law and not a hypothesis or a claim.

Try b? sorry if i’m incorrect
