Answer:
C. Law.
Explanation:
A law is a type of scientific statement is defined as a statement of fact that is generally accepted to be true and universal because it has always been observed to be true.
Some examples of laws that are universally accepted include;
I. Law of Conservation of Momentum: it states that if objects exert forces only on each other, their total momentum is conserved.
II. Law of Conservation of Energy: it states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed or converted from one form to another.
III. Newton's First Law of Motion: also known as law of inertia, it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
IV. Ohm's law: it states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.
V. The three (3) laws published by Kepler include;
a. The first law of planetary motion by Kepler states that, all the planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun at a focus.
b. According to Kepler's second law of planetary motion, the speed of a planet is greatest when it is closest to the Sun.
Thus, the nearer (closer) a planet is to the Sun, the stronger would be the gravitational pull of the sun on the planet and consequently, the faster is the speed of the planet in terms motion.
c. The square of any planetary body's orbital period (P) is directly proportional to the cube of its orbit's semi-major axis.
