Australia moves at a speed of approximately 6.8 centimeters per year to the northeast due to the movement of the tectonic plate it sits on. This movement is part of the larger process of plate tectonics where continents drift slowly over the Earth's surface.

How can you use integers to represent the velocity and the speed of an object?

This was the essential question on a homework assignment. Speed tells how fast an object is moving but it does not tell the direction. Velocity tells how fast an object is moving and it also tells the direction. When velocity is positive, the object is moving up. When velocity is negative, the object is moving down.


What is the different between velocity and acceleration?

Velocity . . . what speed and direction something is moving. Acceleration . . . how fast the speed and/or direction of its motion are changing.
