Is it the fact that the continents are drifting away with constant speed?
DrAshokDeshmukh
You tend to believe that the continents have been drifting away with constant speed. If this presumption is correct, then the continent will come close to each other eventually with time. This is not correct. The speed of the drifting away of the continents has been not the constant one. The moment of the continents is not the random event. They are moving with a purpose as to fallow some law of physics. A simple example will explain the same. if you fill the water in small tank. There is tap at the bottom of the tank. The initial speed of the water that comes out is high. It slows down eventually. The same thing is correct for the drifting of the continents. The initial speed of drifting away was high. The drifting way will halt eventually as the continents get spread all over the surface of the earth. This is the theory. Submitted to the science community.

Does angular speed depend on distance?
when something moves with constant angular speed (w), as in a rotating disk, the speed (v) as you move away from the center depends on distance (r), but the angular speed does not. Mathematically, v = wr.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
Why does the speed of a ball thrown against gravity decrease?
Because gravity exerts a constant force on it in the opposite direction. Just as you do to stop a shopping cart that's rolling away.
A position vs time graph for an object moving away from the reference point at a constant speed?
from the point at rest the line will be curved and going diagonally upwards visual: http://www.gravitywarpdrive.com/General_Relativity_Images/Falling_Ball_Graph_Distance.gif
Is the speed of sound waves affected by the volume or pitch?
Volume (loudness), pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively. The speed of sound is not affected. Speed of sound is only affected by the temperature and not the air pressure.
If north America move 1.25 per year how far will it be away from ridge in middle of Atlantic ocean in 200 million years?
You can calculate this. The total of both continents will make it 2.5 centimeter. You will get pretty long distance. You can ask the distance after 20 billion years also. It is easy to calculate the answer using the calculator. But it is not practical answer. This way, the continents will override each other on the opposite side of the earth. This can not happen. The speed of drifting of the continents is not constant. it was high at the beginning of the fracture of the continents. It is getting slower and slower. The drifting will eventually stop, once the mass is distributed evenly across the earth. It will indefinitely long time for this to happen. This is subjected to the momentum of the earth due to the rotation of the earth.
What keeps the moon in motion?
Newton's first law of motion. If there is no net force on an object, then its velocity is constant. The object is either at rest (if its velocity is equal to zero), or it moves with constant speed in a single direction. The moon moves in a single direction about the earth because it is kept from drifting away by earth's gravity.

Is continental drifting a cause of climate change?
In the past climate change has been a very short-term thing compared with continental drift. The have been several ice-ages in the last 100,000 years, and the continents have drifted imperceptibly in that period. On a scale of 100s of millions of years then continents drifting towards or away from the poles will of course see very slowly changing climate over that very long period.

How long does it take to get somewhere ten miles away at a constant speed of 40 mph?
Time = Distance/Speed = 10/40 = 0.25 hours = 15 minutes.
