4. How are scientific theories different from scientific laws? (1 poir
Theories are based on facts, while laws are based on opinions.
Theories are explanations, while laws are mathematical equations.
Theories are always proven, while laws are still being tested.
Theories can be modified, while laws are fixed and unchangeable.
5. How does mass differ from weight? (1 point)
Mass is a measure of the force of gravity on an object, while weight is the amount of matter in an object.
Mass and weight are the same thing.
Mass is a measure of the matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object
