1 pts
why are theories accepted as true?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For the first question, the theory of relativity deals with different frames of reference. When on Earth, we have one frame of reference where satellites seem to move quickly. When on another satellite, in a co - moving frame of reference, they seem still. The other options are not relevant to this concept of relative motion between frames.
  2. For the second question, theories are accepted as true when they are supported by a large amount of evidence from repeated experiments and observations over time. This evidence - based approach is fundamental in the scientific method.

Answer:

For the first question: D. The theory of relativity
For the second question: They are supported by a large amount of evidence from repeated experiments and observations.
