Very interesting question!

No object in the solar system is stationary with respect to any other object. We know

that you're looking for "the sun" as an answer, but what kind of explanation can take us

there ? How can we describe it ?

Let's say that if you take the average position of every object in the solar system,

over the course of many hundreds of years and with respect to the distant "fixed"

stars, those points are all bunched together in the region of space where the sun

resides.

That's the best I can do, while feeling relatively honest about it.

What is the tendency of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in a place called?

That tendency is called inertia. It is a property of matter where objects resist changes in their motion.


Where is an object that is stationary relative to earth surface moving fastest relative to space?

geosynchronous orbit. The below is not completely accurate but close enough to state the concept and basic practice: A ring of spots above the equator where you can park your satellite and it will stay above the same spot. For a more accurate understanding reading on this subject and the related Lagrange orbits will be best.


do Object moving in the southern hemisphere curve to the right?

Yes, objects moving in the Southern Hemisphere appear to curve to the left due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving objects to be deflected to the left in the Southern Hemisphere and to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Consequently, if you observe an object moving in the Southern Hemisphere, it will seem to curve to the left relative to the direction of motion.


What size does an object have to be in order to view an observable red shift from a distant object in space?

Objects must be very large and moving at high speeds relative to an observer in order for their light to exhibit a measurable red shift due to the Doppler effect. This is commonly observed in astronomical objects such as galaxies and quasars located far away from us in space.


Is the type of image formed by a convex lens depend on the location of the object relative to the optical axis?

No it isn't, because the type of image a convex lens forms depends on where the object is relative to the focal point of the lens.

What are stationary objects?

Stationary objects are objects that are not moving or changing position relative to a reference point. They appear to be at rest and have no velocity. Examples of stationary objects include a chair, a building, or a mountain.

What is another word for object that are not moving?

Stationary or immobile objects.


From the perspective of a stationary observer, does time for an object in motion relative to the observer"?

Yes, time for an object in motion relative to a stationary observer appears to pass slower.


Where is an object that is stationary relative to earths surface moving faster relative to space?

Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

How is the motion of an object compared to other objects that are standing still?

They are the exact same. If an object is standing still, it is in motion. Everything in the world is in motion. Not because of the earth moving, it is because particles in all objects are moving.


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 effect do balanced forces have on stationary objects?

None. There is no effect on a stationary object.


Where is an object that is stationary relative to Earth's surface moving fastest relative to space?

An object that is stationary relative to Earth's surface is moving fastest relative to space at the Equator. This is because the Earth's rotation speed is greatest at the Equator, providing the highest linear velocity for an object on the Earth's surface.


What is the movement of a stationary object in physics?

In physics, a stationary object has zero velocity and does not change its position with time. This means that there is no movement or change in location of the object relative to its surroundings.


What is meant by the object is stationary?

Stationary is only meaningful in regard to a defined "Reference Frame", or "Point of Reference". The object is not moving relative to that Frame or Point.
