Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, relative to any observer not attached to the earth's surface.
What's a Projectile motion?
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown near the earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path.
What is the most common frame of reference for measuring motion?
Earth.
How do you find projectile motion?
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which a projectile is thrown near the earth's surface. When thrown, the projectile moves along a curved path because of gravity. An example of projectile motion is a sprinkler shooting water into the air and the water falling back down to Earth.
Circular motion occurs only near the earths surface?
False. A contra example; Triton has a circular motion about Neptune Newton's first law of motion: a body remains a rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. If there is a centripetal force towards a point acting on a body that is moving then that body will have circular motion. The body and point do not have to be on earth.
What is the most common reference point for determining position and motion?
Earth's surface is a common reference point for determining position and motion.
What is the most common reference point for detecting motion?
Earth's surface is a common reference point for detecting motion.
What are Longtitude and latitude determining?
Your physical position on the surface of the earth !
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
When are weather systems set in motion?
by the unequal heating of the earth's surface. by the unequal heating of the earth's surface.
What is the motion of surface waves?
surface waves are seism c waves that travel along the surface in a side to side, swaying, motion parallel to earth's surface.
What do you call a fractured surface on earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion?
A fractured surface on the Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion is called a fault.
What is Definition of earthquake?
It is then the surface of the earth shakes, caused by crust of the earth in continuous motion.
Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?
They are formed under the earth's surface.
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, relative to any observer not attached to the earth's surface.
Air that is in motion relative to earth's surface?
it is very simple it is wind
What is the mistake in The surface of the earth is in constant motion because of forces on the planet's surface.?
THE FORCES MOVING EARTH'S SURFACE ARE UNDERNEATH EARTH'S SURFACE, IN THE UPPER MANTLE. FWI, these forces are actually huge convection currents in the magma buried under Earth's crust.
