Question

why is rest and motion relative terms

Answer 1

$\Huge{\mathfrak{\orange{\underline{Answer}}}}$

• 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.
