Answer:

a statement of fact meant to explain an action

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific law is something that has proven to be true by experimentation and that describes a phenomena or an action and it is often described as a mathematical equation.

An example of scientific laws are Newtons Laws that descrbes the movements and mechanics of objects on eath and on space.

The purpose of scientific laws is to be useful to explain different physical process and predict behaviour.
