The law of universal gravitation states that both mass and distance of objects
affect the gravitational force between them. Gravitational force increases as
the mass of the objects increase. Gravitational force decreases as distance
between the objects increases. Why are these statements considered scientific
law, and not scientific theory?
a. The statements tells what happens, and not why it happens.
b. The statements involve mass and distance measurements.
c.
d.
The statements explain the attractive force between two objects
The statements predict what will happen under certain conditions.
