Is it possible that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while is it at rest?

Yes. For example, if you are sitting on a train that is at rest, but there is a train on the next track that is moving, it may appear that you are moving.

Can the train appear to be rest at rest while moving?

Yes and no. All motion is relative. When you say you are moving you mean in relation to something else. If are on the train and you choose something that moving alongside you at the same speed (another train for instance) then you are not moving relative to that, however you are moving in relation to the countryside. Both trains are moving in relation to a cow in the field.


Someone experienced that the train in which he was sitting appeared to move while it was at rest but in fact a train on the neighboring platform was departing what is the reason for it?

If the train appeared to be moving while it was at rest, it is because of inertia.


Why does a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest?

because maybe the other objects are moving


Have you ever experienced that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while you are at rest?

yes, a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest, because of relative term as motion & rest are relative term . Actually it is depend upon observer. Example- If a boy sitting in train, when he see a man moving outside the train, it seems to him that it is in motion.

A passenger in the rear car of a train moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to?

The train.


Can a body at rest have an accleration?

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.


What part of a train is moving in the opposite direction then the rest?

The bottom of the wheels.


When a person is sitting in a train the train is moving is the person in rest or motion?

Technically, the person is resting itself, but is in motion as long as the train is moving. ================================================== There is no 'absolute' answer. All motion is relative to the 'frame' in which it's measured. A physicist on the same train, sitting across the aisle from the person, observes the person to be at 'rest' in the physicist's frame. Another physicist, sitting in his car at a crossing, watching the train go by, observes the person to be moving past him at 50 mph. Both physicists are correct, because they're making their measurements in different 'reference frames'. By the way . . . the physicist in his car observes the physicist in the train to be moving too. At the same time, the physicist in the train is so at rest that he's preparing to take a nap. Have you ever read a book while you're in a passenger jet flying along at 400 mph ? Were you at rest or moving ? The answer is 'yes'. ============================================================== Very good point.


Can a body be at rest as well as in motion at the same time . explain?

Example: When train is moving a person sitting in a train is in the state of rest with respect to train but in motion with respect to person standing outside of the train.
