No. Earth moves in an ellipse around the Sun; when it is closest to the Sun (at its periapsis, in January), it moves faster, and when it is furthest from the Sun (at its apapsis), it moves slower.

Do the plates moved at a constant rate during the earth's past?

They tend to move at a fairly constant rate. The only major changes happen with earthquakes.


All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to which factor of gravity?

The factor of gravity responsible for causing objects to change velocity at a rate of 9.8 ms^2 as they move towards Earth is the acceleration due to gravity. This acceleration is constant near the surface of the Earth and is denoted by 'g'.


Why do stars appear to move through the sky at the rate of 15 degrees per hour?

Stars appear to move through the sky at the rate of 15 degrees per hour due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, it creates the illusion that the stars are moving across the sky at this constant rate. This phenomenon is known as diurnal motion.


Does the earth's rate of speed change over time?

No, the Earth's rate of speed in its orbit around the sun remains relatively constant. However, the Earth's distance from the sun varies slightly throughout the year, affecting its orbital speed slightly.


Is it true earth's plates move quickly on top of the crust?

Earth's tectonic plates move at a slow and constant rate, typically a few centimeters per year. While this movement may seem slow on human timescales, it can result in significant geological changes over long periods of time.


When does an object fall at a constant rate of acceleration?

An object falls at a constant rate of acceleration when it is in a vacuum or when air resistance is negligible. In this case, the only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to accelerate towards the ground at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2 (on Earth).


Is the movement of a second hand around a clock a constant rate?

Yes.


Difference between rate constant and specific rate constant?

There is no difference between them they are same rate constant is another name of specific rate constant


What is the Law of Change that states earth movements at a constant rate?

Do you mean what Law of Conservation keeps the Earth spinning at the same rate? If so, that's the Conservation of Angular Momentum.


Does the sun appear to move at a steady rate or does it appear to speed up slow down or move irregularly?

The sun appears to move at a steady rate due to the Earth's rotation. However, this motion can appear to speed up or slow down throughout the day as the Earth orbits around the sun. Factors such as the Earth's axial tilt and the changing seasons can also create variations in the sun's apparent movement.


How does the force of gravity affect the rate of accelration?

The force of gravity causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2. This acceleration is independent of the object's mass and is constant for all objects in a vacuum near the Earth's surface.


An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate of velocity?

An object in freefall accelerates at a constant rate due to the force of gravity acting on it. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, causing the object's velocity to increase by this amount every second.
