Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The statement acceleration of an object increases as the force on an object increases is a scientific theory.

Explanation:

A well explained information of a certain aspect of the natural world which will be based on facts of natural world that is confirmed through repeatedly confirmed observation and experiment.

For example, relation between force and acceleration is as follows.

           F = ma

So, with increase in force there will also occur an increase in acceleration. This means that an increase in force will also cause increase in acceleration.

Therefore, the statement acceleration of an object increases as the force on an object increases is a scientific theory.
