If you watch a train go by at 20 meters per second at what speed with people sitting on the train be moving relative to you?
The people on the train are watching you go by at 20mps. It's all relative.
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 s relative motion?
You are sitting in a moving train. It appears to you as if the trees outside are moving in the opposite direction. This is what we call relative motion. Sun seems moving from east to west daily. But it is only relative to us as we on the earth are moving from west to east.
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.

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.
If you are moving to the front of a moving train are you moving faster than the train relative to the earth?
Yes if the train is moving forward, you are moving at the train speed + walking speed relative to the tracks.
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.
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.

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.
Why does a stationary train appear to be moving?
Because there's no such thing as "really" stationary or "really" moving. If the distance between a point on one train and a point on the other train is changing, then a person on either train says that the other train is moving, and both of them are correct. A "stationary" train only appears to be moving if the train you're on is moving relative to that one.
Why does one train seem to move when other train is already moving?
Relative motion. To talk about a train moving at a certain speed usually means that the train is moving at a certain speed relative to a stationary observer (relative to the ground). This however also means that a passenger traveling in said train would experience the ground (and every other stationary object) as the moving object. This is why a stationary train may seem to be moving to passengers of an already moving train.
