A person who is standing still on the Earth's surface is in a state of relative rest with respect to the surface of the Earth. However, they are actually moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. So, in a broader sense, they are always in motion.

How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on spinning earth?
The acceleration vector of a person on spinning Earth points towards the center of Earth due to gravity. Additionally, this acceleration vector is perpendicular to the direction of the person's velocity as they move along Earth's surface.
For determining motion the surface of earth is a common?
reference point
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, Earth's surface is always in motion due to tectonic plate movements, which cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountains and ocean basins. These movements are driven by the heat generated from Earth's core, leading to a dynamic and ever-changing surface.
How is the motion of an object compared to other objects that are standing still?
They are the exact same. If an object is standing still, it is in motion. Everything in the world is in motion. Not because of the earth moving, it is because particles in all objects are moving.
What is the least known fact about the earth?
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
If a person is standing still on the surface of the earth and the earth is rotating at 1500 km east what is that persons velocity?
The person's velocity would be 0 km/h since they are not moving in relation to the surface of the Earth. Their velocity would only change if they start moving relative to the surface, but standing still means their velocity is 0.
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.
Do the astronauts in the space shuttle 308 km above the surface of earth experience more or less centripetal acceleration than a person standing on the surface of earth?
The astronauts in the space shuttle experience less centripetal acceleration compared to a person standing on the surface of the Earth. This is because the centripetal acceleration experienced depends on the speed of rotation and radius of the orbit, which are greater on the surface of the Earth than in space.
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.
Where is a person standing if they experience a lunar eclipse?
To experience a lunar eclipse, a person is standing on Earth's surface near where it points toward the full moon. Directly behind the person, on the very opposite side of Earth is where the Sun is shining (and trying to light up the Moon). That places Earth in a position where it shades the Moon from the Sun's rays. As the Earth and Moon rotate and orbit, the eclipse soon is over.
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on spinning earth?
The acceleration vector of a person on spinning Earth points towards the center of Earth due to gravity. Additionally, this acceleration vector is perpendicular to the direction of the person's velocity as they move along Earth's surface.
Air that is in motion relative to earth's surface?
it is very simple it is wind
Is gravity stronger on the earths surface than it is 100m up and then that's stronger than 200m up?
The gravitational field is stronger the closer you are to the Earth, so a person standing 100m up will experience a stronger tug than a person standing 200m up.
What do we call a fractured surface in earth's crust where a mass of rocks is in motion?
A fault is a fractured surface in the Earth's crust where a mass of rocks is in motion. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
