Question

what is meant by the statement 'Rest and Motion are relative terms' ? Give example to show it?
​

Answer 1

Rest and motion are relative terms because when an object is at rest, it is only at rest compaired to the observer. Consider that if you are in a moving vehicle then your passenger is at rest from your point of view, but to an observer, outside the vehicle the passenger and you are both in motion. Similarly to you inside the vehicle the observer outside is moving. As the earth itself is in motion, as well as the sun and in fact the whole galaxy, their is no way to absolutely define an at rest state, so all motion is measured relative to the observer, who is assumed to be at rest compaired to the observation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. If an observer is at rest in his or her own frame of reference, but he may be moving in other observer's frame of reference.

for eg. a man sitting inside a moving train finds the trees outside are moving in the opposite direction and a man standing at rest outside finds the trees are at rest.

So, it completely depends on the frame of reference.
