Question

What is meant by the statement 'rest and motion are relative terms'? Give eg to show it​

Answer 1

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. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.for example if we see a stone lying on the street it is in rest but actually it is not at rest as the earth is rotating and revolving

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. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

eg: a person sitting inside a moving train and being observed by a person outside the train
