If something is "constantly in motion", then it's moving. At that level, the question is nonsense.
There are a couple of reasons they might APPEAR not to move, depending on exactly what you're talking about when you say "constantly in motion".
If you mean that they're constantly in motion because the Earth itself is whizzing through space, then they don't appear to move because you're comparing them to other objects on Earth which are ALSO whizzing through space.
If you mean they're constantly in motion in the sense of tectonic plates, the motion is so slow that it's hard to notice. What makes it doubly hard is finding something to compare it to, because plates are often large, and any object sitting on the plate will be moving with it. It's easiest to notice motion at the plate boundaries.
If you mean they're constantly in motion in the sense that the individual atoms and molecules that make them up are moving, you don't notice it because they don't move very FAR, they just sort of wiggle in place, over such small distances that you can't see them.
What else can I help you with?
The particles in matter are in at all times?
the particles in matter are in motion at all times. :p
What is constantly in motion?
The Earth is constantly in motion, rotating on its axis and orbiting around the sun. Additionally, atoms and molecules are always vibrating and moving, even in seemingly stationary objects.
When riding a bicycle past the building you're not moving relative to the?
The bike. Even though you and the bike are in motion the positions do not change.
Why is uniform circular motion an accelerated motion?
Uniform circular motion is considered accelerated because the velocity is constantly changing direction, even though the speed remains constant. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, the acceleration in this case is known as centripetal acceleration, directed towards the center of the circle.
Three things in motion that you cannot see moving?
Electrons inside an atom constantly move around the nucleus. Earth's tectonic plates slowly shift and move, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity. Air molecules are constantly in motion, even though the movement is not visible to the naked eye.
An object traveling in a circle is accelerating because it is constantly changing?
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.
Why is the motion of satellite around planets considered to be an accelarated motion?
Because "acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means: Either the speedor the direction of the motion is changing.Anything moving in a curved path is constantly 'accelerating', even of its speed isconstant, because its direction is constantly changing.
Do we use motion everyday?
Yes, we use motion every day in various activities such as walking, driving, typing, and even breathing. Our bodies are constantly in motion to perform tasks and interact with our environment.
What make tectonic plates collid?
It is because the tectonic are not still. They are constantly in motion even though it is almost negligible . When such two vibrating plated come in contact with each other, they produce seismic waves which sometimes result as earthquake.
How can your speed accelerate even though your speed does not change?
Your speed can accelerate even though your speed does not change if you are changing direction or accelerating in a circular motion. In these cases, even though your speed remains constant, your velocity changes due to the change in direction, causing acceleration.
What object is used for the frame of reference if you were to say that a dead mosquito is in motion even though it is lying still on the ground?
The frame of reference would be the Earth, as it is constantly moving through space. Despite the mosquito appearing still relative to the ground, it is in motion in relation to the Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun.
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing?
direction as it moves around the circle due to the centripetal force acting towards the center. This force causes the object to accelerate continuously, even though the speed may remain constant. As a result, the object experiences changing velocity and acceleration, leading to a dynamic motion.
