Can a body be regarded in the state of rest as well as in motion at the same time?

The lady reading the motionless book in her lap, while she sits in her comfortable seat,
which is in Row 23 of the airliner taking her to visit her grandchildren across the country,
and is just now cruising at 420 knots at an altitude of 35,000 feet.
-- The book is motionless relative to the lady's lap.
-- The book and the lady are both motionless relative to the seat.
-- The book, the lady, and the seat are all motionless relative to the airplane.
-- All four of them are moving at about 485 miles per hour relative to the grass on the ground.
None of these states of motion is the 'real' one, and all of them are. There's no such thing
as the 'real' one. Every state of motion is relative to something else.

∙ 11y agoThis is just based on an example i thought of but if you are in a vehicle the vehicle has it's own microclimate so although you are technically moving at whatever speed the car is, you are actually still at rest because you are not exposed to the conditions of outside and you do not have to physically propel the vehicle as if you were on a bike for example. so you are in a state of motion in a car but your body is still at rest.

∙ 10y agoIn Newton's view of our Universe, yes. He believed that there was an absolute frame against which an object could be at rest.
Albert Einstein refuted that idea, stating that an object could only have a velocity relative to another frame, and that no frame could be declared the "absolute" one.

∙ 13y agoA body at rest is stationary and motion is moving. I think what you mean is that an object of a constant velocity is considered at rest in your terms as it it not experiencing force.

∙ 7y agoYes, simply put you may be "at rest" sitting stationary in a chair but you are actually in motion on the Earth as it orbits the Sun.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo. Motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time and its reference point.

What does Newton's 1st law of motion state?
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Does the Law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it?
The Law of Inertia states that a body continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it.
Does the law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force acts on it?
Yes
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 is absolute rest and absolute motion?
motion : when a body is moving or changing its position with respect to its surroundings is called motion. rest: when a body is not moving or fixed at a place with respect to its surroundings is called rest.
Can a body at rest b regarded in the state of motion?
Motion is measured as relative to a set point.A rock sitting on the ground is at rest in relation to the groundThe rock and the ground are spinning with the surface of the planet.The planet is moving in the solar systemAnd 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'.
Can a body be at rest as well as in state if motion?
A body is said to be in motion or at rest w.r.t. its surroundings. A person in bus is at rest wrt another person in same bus. He is in motion wrt bus stop.
What does Newton's 1st law of motion state?
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is inrtia?
the resistance of a body to change its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight lin
How do you describe inertia?
the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest and of a body in motion to remain in motion
Does the Law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it?
The Law of Inertia states that a body continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it.
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
Does the law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force acts on it?
Yes
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.
