If zero mass particle have a speed c in one reference frame Can they be found at rest in other frame?

"c" is usually used, in this context, for the speed of light. If such a particle has the speed of light in one frame of reference, then, strange as it may seem, it will have the speed of light in ANY frame of reference.

What is a reference point or point of reference?
A frame of reference in physics, may refer to a coordinate system or set of axes within which to measure the position, orientation, and other properties of objects in it, or it may refer to an observational reference frame tied to the state of motion of an observer. It may also refer to both an observational reference frame and an attached coordinate system as a unit.
How do you use force frame?
to generate the fictitious force that would transform one reference frame into the other in a single timestep.
What is movement in relation to a frame of reference called?
Relative motion is movement in relation to a frame of reference.
What is motion in a frame of reference?
That means, compared to what are you calculating the movement. This might be the Earth, or some other object.
Doe everyone has the same frame of reference?
It depends on how you frame the question. Everyone's subjective frame is the same, but your frame of reference is different in relation to mine unless we share the same motion in very close proximity to each other. At non-relativistic speeds, the differences are so small as to be inconsequential, but they are calculable if you don't mind a boxcar load of decimal places. For the sake of convenience and for most purposes, we generally take our locale on the surface of the earth as a single static frame of reference.
What is competitive frame of reference in marketing?
Competitive frame of reference in marketing refers to comparing the brand to other similar brands on the market showing the advantages and strengths weakening the competition.
What is a reference point or point of reference?
A frame of reference in physics, may refer to a coordinate system or set of axes within which to measure the position, orientation, and other properties of objects in it, or it may refer to an observational reference frame tied to the state of motion of an observer. It may also refer to both an observational reference frame and an attached coordinate system as a unit.
Why do you think an understanding of frame of reference is important?
According to the current understanding of physics, there is no such thing as "absolute motion". There is nothing in space that distinguishes one frame of reference from another. There is no "preferred" reference frame. Thus, if you don't specify a frame of reference, you don't know how an object is moving. Unless, of course, the frame of reference is implicit; in some practical situations it is.
What are the uses of force frame in physics?
to generate the fictitious force that would transform one reference frame into the other in a single timestep.
What does the theory of special relativity say about the equivalence of different frames of reference?
It says that the speed of light in a vacuum measured in any inertial frame of reference is equivalent to the speed of light in a vacuum measured in any other inertial frame of reference.
What other sub atomic particle is usually found with protons?
neutrones
What is the formula for reference point?
A frame of reference in physics may refer to a coordinate system or set of axes within which to measure the position, orientation, and other properties of objects in it, or it may refer to an observational reference frame tied to the state of motion of an observer. It may also refer to both an observational reference frame and an attached coordinate system as a unit. There is no particular formula to calculate this.

Can a moving object be selected as a reference object?
Any moving object can be redefined as a frame of reference at rest, from which all other moving frames can be measured. That's a fundamental precept of Relativity. It's motion is defined only in relation to some other object from which the motion is measured, so reselection as the rest frame is necessary, but once established as a rest frame, it is (for the purpose of measurement) no longer considered to be in motion. Since everything is moving in relation to everything else, any frame can be selected as the frame of reference at rest, with all other motion measured relative to it.
