You are sitting in a moving train. It appears to you as if the trees outside are moving in the opposite direction. This is what we call relative motion. Sun seems moving from east to west daily. But it is only relative to us as we on the earth are moving from west to east.
Relative motion
Friction opposes the relative motion of surfaces in contact. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces.
Motion is relative to an observer's frame of Reference.
Think of two cars driving down a highway in the same direction. One is going 30m/s, and one is going 50m/s. The faster car is going 20m/s relative to the slower car.We can basically think of relative motion as motion of one object compared to that of another object.
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.
The objects are in motion relative to each other.
motion is realtive
The statement "rest and motion are relative terms" means that whether an object is considered at rest or in motion depends on the observer's frame of reference. For example, a person sitting on a bus is at rest relative to the bus, but in motion relative to a person standing on the street. This illustrates that rest and motion are relative concepts.
The object is in motion relative to the reference point.
All motion is relative to yourself, as there is no fixed point anywhere in our universe, as it is all traveling away from the center of the big bang. But if we ever find where the bigbang happened, that would be where all motion is relative to
When its position is changing relative to our position. Note: all motion is relative to something else.
He is in motion relative to me, and he is at rest relative to his friends. There is no 'real' rest or 'real' motion. It's always measured relative to something else.
