Question

which statement could be a scientific law? a the moon may have formed because earth was struck by a giant asteroid. b objects dropped above the earth will eventually fall down to the surface of the earth. c the seasons occur because of the tilt of earths axis. d objects fall towards the earth because of gravity.

Explanation:

A scientific law describes a natural - occurring phenomenon that is consistently observed. Option b states a simple, consistent observation about objects and gravity. Option a is a hypothesis about moon formation, option c is an explanation of seasons (more of a theory - based explanation), and option d is an explanation of a phenomenon rather than a law which just states what happens.

Answer:

B. Objects dropped above the earth will eventually fall down to the surface of the earth.
