The statement "force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)'' is Newton's second law of motion. Why is this a law rather than a theory? It states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables. It cannot be proven whereas a theory can be proven. It may be revised if new information shows that the relationship has changed. It was classified as a law because it is related to other similar discoveries

Answer 1

The statement "force equals mass times acceleration

" is Newton's second law of motion. This is considered a law rather than a theory because it states, rather than explains, the relationship between the variables. A law describes what happens, while a theory explains why it happens.
