Are motion and rest relative terms?

Yes.


A body which is in both rest and motion?

At rest and in motion are relative terms. When we say 'in motion' or 'at rest' we mean relative to something else. If you were travelling in a car for instance, you would be at rest relative to the car but in motion relative to the outside world.


How can you say that rest and motion are relative terms?

a body is said to be at rest if it does not change its position relative to a reference frame similarly a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position relative to any reference frame.

Going to guess you meant to say Inertia. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.


What is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion is called?

Prove that rest and motion are relative terms?

Actually sitting on the earth we feel as if we are at rest. But relative to the pole star we are moving along a circular path. Also relative to the sun we are moving along an elliptical path around the sun. So actually speaking we are not at rest. In the same nothing is stationary. Everything is in motion. Rest means only a relative term.


Newton's first law of motion was?

Newton's first law of motion was the law of inertia. When an object is in motion, it stays in motion. When an object is in rest, it stays in rest.


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
