Newton's Second Law of Motion is represented by which equation?
Answer: F = ma
Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma), describing how net force changes an object's motion.
Which type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?
Answer: Covalent bond
A covalent bond forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in:
Answer: Glucose
Photosynthesis stores light energy as chemical energy in glucose molecules, which the plant uses as fuel for cellular processes.
Which layer of Earth is responsible for tectonic plate movement?
Answer: Asthenosphere
The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the upper mantle where convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates.
