Question

We say that a building is stationary but is the building in motion with respect to some other object?

Answer 1

Answer:We can say that building is at stationery with respect to its immediate surroundings that's comparing with the environment around it but it is in motion with respect to the motions of the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Yes, it can be said, the building is in motion with respect to some other object.

• When it is said that something is stationary or moving, it is relative to some other object.
• For example, as in the problem itself, the building is stationary relative to the earth, since it is fixed with the earth, and cannot move. But at the same time, we can see that the earth is in motion with respect to other objects in the universe such as the sun, moon, and other planets.
• So, even if the building is fixed, or stationary relative to the earth, it will be said in motion with respect to other objects in the universe because the earth is in motion relative to them.
