Best Answer

acceleration is a relative quantity . state of rest or motion is also relative . if two body is in rest or moving with same velocity and having same acceleration then one is in state of rest with respect to other . suppose a person sitting in a train then he is in rest with respect to train but he is moving with the acceleration of train with respect to the ground.
