Question

Rest and motion are the relative terms.Explain with an example.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rest and motion are related terms. Without any reference object to relate with it isn't possible to mention whether a object is in rest or motion.

Understanding through examples-

For example- Let it be that you are travelling in a bus.  

So to you all other passengers are in rest.

However for a person who's outside the bus, everyone inside the bus is moving.

Hence, in the first example when you are the reference object, the passangers are stationary that is in rest.

But on the other hand, when the reference object is a person outside the moving bus, the same passengers are in motion that is moving

Answer 2

• Rest and motion are relative terms. In simple terms, an object that changes its position is said to be in motion while the opposite action causes an object to be at rest. ...
• Therefore, rest and motion both depend mainly on the frame of reference of the one who is observing the scene.
