1 Can the state of absolute rest or motion be defined for any object?

Absolute rest is commonly called absolute zero. To cool something by extracting energy it must be placed in an environment with less average energy than it contains; this requires the environment to be already at or below absolute zero, which requires something to make it that temperature. This thing must be at or below absolute zero as well... and we enter a causality loop where being able to do one thing requires it to have been done. Thus it is impossible.

∙ 13y agonot without violating special relativity. Einstein posited that you cannot define absolute rest because you cannot know that you are in motion if there is no acceleration. you can declare a relative state of rest, but there is no such thing as absolute rest or absolute motion. if you could declare an absolute velocity, then you must know how fast you are going, and that would violate the first postulate

When will an object change its state of motion?
An object changes its state of motion when it accelerates or decelerates, usually caused by a force.
What do you mean by state of motion of an object?
the state of rest is also called the state of motion in which the speed is zero.
What state is an object in when it's not in motion?
Resting state
Which term refers to the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion?
Inertia. An object at rest, tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
What is the definition of resistance to acceleration?
Inertia resists acceleration. Inertia resists a change in the state of motion of a particle or rigid body. For instance, in order for the state of motion of an object to change, there must be a net external force exerting on the object, which is defined as mass times acceleration. Resistance to this net external force would therefore have to resist the object's acceleration, and that is inertia.
What can a force do to an object's motion?
Accelerate it. Be aware that any change in motion (slower, faster, different course) is defined as acceleration. Newton defined force (simply) as that which alters a state of motion, i.e. f = ma.
Is the mass of an object defined as the amount of substance in it?
Not exactly, as technically the mass of an object is a measure of its inertia, or resistance to change in state of motion or rest.
In which state of matter is there no particle motion?
Motion just stop at absolute zero.
When will an object change its state of motion?
An object changes its state of motion when it accelerates or decelerates, usually caused by a force.
Why is a flying insect said to be in the state of motion?
because every ---------------------------- is in a stae of motion

What property of an object makes the object maintain the same state of motion?
the weight of an object makes the maintain same state of motion that is wrong inertia is the correct answer. look it up in the dictionary
Which term refers to the tendency of an object to maintain it's state of motion?
Inertia. An object at rest, tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
What is the state in which on object's distance from another is changing?
Motion
