Motion is measured as relative to a set point.

  • A rock sitting on the ground is at rest in relation to the ground
  • The rock and the ground are spinning with the surface of the planet.
  • The planet is moving in the solar system

And so on

What is motion and no motion?

When an object changes its position with respect to time, then the body is said ti be in 'motion'. When the body is at rest, it is state of 'no motion'.


What is the inherent tendency of a body to remain in its state of motion or rest known as?

The inherent tendency of a body to remain in its state of motion or rest is known as inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, according to Newton's First Law of Motion.


Can a body be at rest as well as in state if motion?

No, an object cannot be at rest and in a state of motion at the same time, as it would violate the laws of physics. An object can only be at rest or in motion at any given moment, according to the laws of inertia.


How do you describe inertia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is described by Newton's First Law of Motion.


What is the property of a body that requires force to change its state of motion?

property of a body that requires force to change its state of motion


Inertia is the tendency of any object to maintain what?

Newton First Law of motion states that "A body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line until/unless an external force is applied upon it" Why is it so? "Inertia is the property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line" Newton's first law of motion is also therefore known as law of inertia because of the inertia the body will remain in its initial state forever. And mass is the measure of the inertia of a body.


Is abody at rest in uniform motion?

no when the body the body is in motion only


What does newton's firsts law of motion state?

a body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by external force.


What is 1st law of newton of motion?

Newtons 1st law states that every body continues to be in its own state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight path unless it is compelled by any external force to change its state. If a force is exerted on a body the body will move but without force it will not move.


What property prevents a body to change its state of rest or o f uniform motion on its own?

inertia


Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by?

an external force. This law is also known as the law of inertia and it describes the tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion.


What is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of motion?

The tendency of a body to maintain its state of motion is known as inertia. This means that an object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
