explain how rest and motion are relative terms
Answers
Answer:
This is the answer for above question
Explanation:
Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. ... So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

A body is at rest when its position does not change with time,compared to the things around it,i.e.,its surroundings.For example,a table is rest and a book lying on the table is at rest.A body is said to be at motion when the position of the body with respect to its surroundings changes with time.For example,a running train in in motion and flowing water is in motion.Rest and motion are relative terms.Seemingly,rest and motion are quite opposite to each other.However,the following example will prove that sometimes it becomes very difficult to say whether a body is at rest or is in a state of motion.For example:Imagine that you are traveling by a bus.If you compare their position with respect to the surroundings outside the bus,such as the trees,fields,houses,etc.,you will find that a position is changing with respect to them.Hence,you are in a state of motion.However,if you compare their position with respect to the surroundings inside the bus,i.e., the passengers, the walls and the roof of the bus,etc, you will find that your position is not changing with respect to the surroundings,and hence,you are at rest.
