An object is in motion only if its distance from a reference point is changing. The average speed of the object is given by the object's rate of change of displacement from the reference point over time.

How do you recognize motion?
Deciding if an object is moving isn't as easy as it sounds. We can only discern relative motion and we have to use reference points. (A reference point is an object that is not moving that you compare to the other object.) An object is in motion when it's distance from the reference point is changing.For example, you could say that you and this computer are not moving. Other than your eyes blinking, chest pumping up and down, and you clicking on the mouse, you and this computer are not in motion. Since the distance between you and the computer is not changing, you can conclude that neither you or the computer are moving.
Object of point from which motion is determined?
Frame Of Reference. which means a framework that is used for the observation and mathematical description
Why is it important to know if your reference point is moving?
I think it's important to know if your reference point moves because your reference point is the object that's not supposed to move and if it moves it will mess up your hypothesis of thinking that your 1st object moves. It takes a while to completely understand the answer, or even the question
What is the relationship between motion and a frame of reference?
Motion is the change in distance between two things. One of those "things" is a reference point to which the other thing is being compared. For example, in a race, my fixed point or reference point is the starting line. I move away from it toward the finish line. There is a change in distance between the starting line and me.
When an object moves at speeds that are close to that of light its length will?
Not change, from the frame of reference of the object, that being more or less the whole point of special relativity.From the point of view of an outside observer, it will contract along the direction of motion.
Is needed to determine whether an object is in motion?
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
What is needed to determine whether in object is in motion?

How far an object is from a reference point?
the answer to that is motion
What is needed to determine whether an objects is in motion?
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
What point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object?
A reference point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object.
Is a reference point the object to which we compare another object's motion?
Yes, that is one meaning of "reference point", although the reference point need not be an object, but may simply be a location.

When an object changes position over time relative to a reference point the object is?
motion
What is the place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion?
A reference point
Why does motion occurs?
motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
