What a strange question! Motion cannot be measured. You can only measure Speed or Velocity, or Acceleration , or Distance travelled. Speed is a measure that relates Distance travelled in a particular Time. It is very easy to look at a moving object, but you cannot expect to have a brain which tells you precisely how far the object moved, just by looking at it. Perhaps you have been reading too many Science Fiction Novels lately!

How can they tell how fast the earth is moving through space?
There's no such thing as "motion through space". Motion must be measured relative to another object. So we just measure how fast the other object appears to be moving, and there we go.
How can you move an object by just looking at it?
Communicate with a friend to move an object when you look at the friend or at the object. Moving objects just by looking at them is not reality it is fantasy.
Why do you have motion?
because everything around has motion because the word motion comes from the word movement when we move its motion but we do not see motion so therefore motion is a force just like gravity because gravity is what pulls every object to the ground. when we push or pull it is force and that is motion pulling or moving an object is motion.
Is an object in motion if the acceleration is zero?
Acceleration just means that something is getting faster at a constant pace. If the object was at rest it would have a constant velocity. If the object was then acted upon by and unbalanced force, the velocity would change and no longer be constant. However if an object is just moving along (balanced force of air resistance, gravity, and friction) then it would be at a constant velocity, also. In motion or at rest and object can have zero acceration.
What kind of force acts on an object and causes a change in motion?
This kind of force acting on a object cause a change in the objects motion

What is bulk motion?
Bulk motion is a type of motion that an object does. The object moves in a wave-like formation instead of just the waves moving.
Does friction affects the weight of an object?
no, friction just changes the motion of an object.

What does friction do to the object's motion?
The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.

What is the definition of the measurement of motion?
Difficult to know just what you have in mind. Motion implies velocity, which is measured in meters per second, or feet per second, or miles per hour.
What gives an object inertia for newtons laws?
Nothing gives an object inertia. Inertia is not a force. It is just the tendency of an object to continue in its motion if there is no force acting upon it.
Is the mass of an object is different if it is measured US units and metric units?
The mass doesn't change; just the numbers.
Rate of change of the velocity of an object?
The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
Is an object in motion if the acceleration is zero?
Acceleration just means that something is getting faster at a constant pace. If the object was at rest it would have a constant velocity. If the object was then acted upon by and unbalanced force, the velocity would change and no longer be constant.
