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.

What type of friction is involved in train moving along a track?
Rolling Friction
If you are riding on a train that speeds past another train moving in the same direction on an adjacent track it appears that the other train is moving backward. why?
because your going forward at a faster speed its hard to explain
If a train is speeding down a railroad track at a speed of 50 miles per hour. From whose reference point is the train not moving?
The passengers reference point ! The passengers are moving at the same speed as the train.
There is a train which is moving on a straight track without any jerks or vibration. Everyone is asleep and you are awake.Doors and windows are closed. How do you know that the train is moving?
You wouldn't be able to tell. This is because you have no frame of reference to compare the motion to. You judge motion based on a point in space. If all the doors are closed, and all of the windows have shades pulled, the only points that you could compare to are ones that are moving at the same speed as you. Assuming that you feel no vibration, you couldn't tell if the train is stopped or moving. There are ways however to tell motion, just not visually. . If you have a GPS with you, you will realize that the position on the earth is changing.

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.
What type of friction is involved in train moving along a track?
Rolling Friction
When earth rotates why don't we feel the rotation of the earth?
Because we are moving along with the earth, and there is no relative motion between the earth and us. If we are seated on a train and watching the scenery go by, we don't "feel" the motion of the train as it sails down the track at freeway speeds (the jostling of the train aside). Same thing. It's a "frame of reference" thing from physics 101.
Motion in a straight line is what?
If an object moving along a straight line,path,track etc.It,s motion is said to be straight line motion

What are the reasons why you are not allowed to stay near a moving train?
if you fall over on the track it will kill you
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.
What identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
A ball moving at a constant speed around a circular track.
