Question
Give an example when a body is at rest as well as in motion.
Answer
An object that changes its position is said to be in motion while the object that does not is said to be at rest.
Example of a body at rest:
- A book lying on table
- A stopped car
- A boy lying on bed
- A bottle on the table
- A girl sitting on chair
Example of body in motion
- Running of a boy
- A moving vehicle
- Ticking of a clock
- Jumping into river
- Trekking
**Newton's first law of motion states that a body in motion tends to remain in motion, a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force. So, if an object is moving ,its inertia will tend to keep it in motion, and if something is at rest, its inertia will tend to keep it at rest.
