Toward which direction do the stars appear to move throughout the night and what is the reason for motion?

Just like the Sun and the Moon, stars appear to move towards the west. The reason is that Earth rotates in the opposite direction - towards the east.

What direction is an object headed when in linear motion?
It is moving either one way or the other. Linear motion is straight line motion. Either the object is moving toward point A or away from it toward point B.

What is the example where is in the direction of motion?
An example of acceleration in the direction of motion is a smooth spherical stone dropped from the roof of a building on a windless day. All the motion is straight down, toward the center of the earth, and so is the acceleration.

Why do dust particles in the air appear to be moving in different direction's?
Heat motion is random.
How do cells appear when brownian movement is causing their motion?
They make random changes in the direction of their movement.
What is the differences between uniform and nonuniform motion?
Uniform motion refers to motion with constant (including zero) velocity: that is, the same speed and in the same direction. Non-uniform motion can refer to motion in which the speed or direction of motion are not constant throughout the period under consideration.
Can uniform velocity appear in circular motion?
No.. this is impossible. Velocity must have a constant direction and speed to remain constant, it may have a constant speed, but the direction in a circle constantly changes. If it suddenly were to have constant direction, then the motion would go off on a tangent.. making it linear motion, not circular. In circular motion, velocity constantly changes. Always.
Why are the passengers in a turning vehicle thrust toward one side?
inertia (an object in motion wants to keep moving in that direction)
What happens to the direction of motion of the ball what changes it direction of motion?
A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.
What is the direction of acceleration due to gravity in upward motion and downward motion?
The direction of acceleration is always in the same direction as the force. That's nominally toward the center of the Earth. (Technically, it could be slightly off-center, if you happen to be in the presence of a large, massive, non-symmetrical piece of the Earth, like a mountain. But it's pretty accurate to simply say that it's always toward the center of the Earth.)
How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
