What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is distance over time whereas velocity is speed in a given direction.

What are three ways that plates can move?
Some plates pull away from one another causing rifts, some push toward one another causing pressure points, and others slide amicably past one another.
300
The three ways acceleration occurs.
What is increase or decrease in speed and change in direction?
300
It takes you 35 seconds to go 105 meters, what is your average rate of travel?

This country is in the early stages of sending a space flight to the "dark side" of the moon.
What is China?
400
What is the difference between average speed and constant speed?
Constant speed occurs when an object moves at the same speed for a long period of time. Average speed occurs when finding the total distance over the total time.
400

A bird carrying a ball drops the ball while flying straight down. A woman on the surface of Earth sees this, however the ball appears to fall on a curve. Why is this? Is the ball moving horizontally?
What is the bird and woman have different reference points. The ball is moving horizontally to the woman but is not from the view of the bird?
