What is the stationary object against which motion can be measured?

There is no such thing as a "stationary" object. Every motion is always measured
relative to something else, which, coincidentally, is what the question is all about.
The thing against which motion is measured is called the "reference frame".

What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What are stationary objects?
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
What does force have to do with motion?
A stationary object will not move unless a force is applied to it.
When an object is seen moving against a stationary background what is the stationary background called?
Parallax
Is motion always observed from some stationary or relative position?
Motion is always relative to something. There's no such thing as really "stationary."Stationary only means that the motion of the observed object matches the observer's motion. Example: Reading the book that lies 'stationary' in your lap while you're in a car or on a passenger jet.
What does a force applied to stationary object give the object?
motion or momentum Motion for A+
What does a force applied to a stationary object give the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What does the force applied to a stationary object give to the object?
"Motion" or "Momentum"
What is a stationary object by which motion can be determined?
frame of reference
What are stationary objects?
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
How do we know if the object is in motion?
By comparing the object with a stationary object. For instance, we are standing apparently still on earth, yet by comparing our position against the sun and stars, we have proof that the earth is actually moving.
What do you understand by state of motion?
A description of the motion of the object. Stationary vs moving described by velocity.
Can movement measured only in reference to something that is assumed to be fixed in place?
Yes, movement can be measured in reference to something assumed to be fixed in place. This is known as relative motion, where the movement of an object is determined by comparing it to another object or reference point that is considered stationary.
When is an object in motion?
When its position changes with respect to a point of reference.
What does force have to do with motion?
A stationary object will not move unless a force is applied to it.
What is an object in motion moving relative to?
Movement Occurs When an Object moves Relative to a Stationary Object
When an object is seen moving against a stationary background what is the stationary background called?
Parallax
