Question

Answer 1

Explanation:

Relative motion means Motion in one dimension with other vehicle

eg-A car moving in straight road

Answer 2

For example, if you are travelling in a train and the train is moving at a speed

of 100 km/hr, then your speed according to another passenger sitting on that train is zero. According to him, you are not moving. But if someone observes you from outside the train, standing on the ground, according to him, you are moving with 100 km/hr as you are on the train and the train is moving with 100 km/hr.

Here, the motion observed by the observer depends on the location (frame) of the observer. This type of motion is called relative motion.
