In which situation can you be at rest and moving at the same time?

Being at rest is a relative term. Relative to earth we are at rest when we are sitting down. However, you are moving because the earth is moving its orbit around the sun.


How can a moving object have a motion diagram that is the same as that of an object at rest?

They could be the same if the frames of both onjects were taken at different time intervals


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.


What does a change is as good as a rest mean?

It means it can get boring to do the same all the time.


What is a situation where instantaneous velocity is the same as average velocity?

A dog running in a circle, stopping where it started, would have a net displacement of zero, an average velocity of zero, and an average acceleration of zero regardless of the time involved. This is because the dog has exerted equal work in moving toward his starting point as moving away from that point. A similar situation exists where a book is lifted from a desk and then dropped back : the book has the same potential energy as before it was lifted, the additional energy having been removed by the force of gravity.

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.


How can you be at rest and also moving at 100000 kmhr at the same time?

That depends on choice of frame of reference, for example: you may be at rest relative to Earth's surface, yet relative to Sun, you travel with speed of about 27km/s in orbit around it.
