Question
Are rest and motion relative?
Advertisements
Solution
Yes rest and motion are relative to each other. They depend on the observer's frame of reference, meaning what appears to be motion from one observer's perspective may appear as rest from another's. This is because motion is defined as a change in position relative to a reference point.
