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 are a body at rest and body moving similar in velocity?

A body at rest and a body in motion have completely different velocities.Magnitude of velocity:At rest . . . zeroMoving . . . not zeroDirection of velocity:At rest . . . no directionMoving . . . some direction


What is motion and no motion?

When an object changes its position with respect to time, then the body is said ti be in 'motion'. When the body is at rest, it is state of 'no motion'.


What make object stay on its place?

Inertia. Newton's First Law of Motion: "A body at rest tends to stay at rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in motion."


How do you describe inertia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is described by Newton's First Law of Motion.


What is the inherent tendency of a body to remain in its state of motion or rest known as?

The inherent tendency of a body to remain in its state of motion or rest is known as inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, according to Newton's First Law of Motion.


When is a body said to be at rest?

'An object said to be at rest when it is not in motion'.The above statement has been proved by Newton's First Law of Motion (Law Of Inertia) , it says When a body is at rest it tends to be at rest and when a body is inmotion it tends to be in motion until an external force is applied on it.


What are the two parts of newtons first law of inertia?

Newton's first law states that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion in a straight line at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. So the two parts involve a body at rest and a body in motion.


Can a body be at rest as well as in state if motion?

No, an object cannot be at rest and in a state of motion at the same time, as it would violate the laws of physics. An object can only be at rest or in motion at any given moment, according to the laws of inertia.


What law of motion does this vibrational motion BEST represent?

The law that "A body initially at rest remains at rest.", since no vibration is visible from here.


What is motion and rest?

MOTION: A body is said to be in motion if it changes it's position with respect to it's surrounding. REST: A body is said to be in rest if it does not changes it's position with respect to it's surrounding.


What newton first law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion at constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
