Yes, a train can appear to be at rest when viewed from within the train itself, as there is no external frame of reference to gauge its motion. This is similar to how you may feel stationary while sitting on a train that is already moving, until you look out the window and see the surrounding landscape passing by.
Yes, it is possible for the train to appear to move while it is at rest if another train next to it starts moving, creating an illusion of motion. Additionally, if there are vibrations or movements in the surroundings that are transferred to the stationary train, it may also feel like it is moving.
Yes. For example, if you are sitting on a train that is at rest, but there is a train on the next track that is moving, it may appear that you are moving.
yes, a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest, because of relative term as motion & rest are relative term . Actually it is depend upon observer. Example- If a boy sitting in train, when he see a man moving outside the train, it seems to him that it is in motion.
the passenger will be at rest relative to the rear car of the train, as they are both moving at the same speed and direction.
Your friend appears to be at rest because they are moving at the same speed as the bus. When inside a moving vehicle, all passengers and objects inside the vehicle are also moving at the same speed as the vehicle, so they appear to be at rest relative to each other.

Yes and no. All motion is relative. When you say you are moving you mean in relation to something else. If are on the train and you choose something that moving alongside you at the same speed (another train for instance) then you are not moving relative to that, however you are moving in relation to the countryside. Both trains are moving in relation to a cow in the field.
Yes. For example, if you are sitting on a train that is at rest, but there is a train on the next track that is moving, it may appear that you are moving.
If the train appeared to be moving while it was at rest, it is because of inertia.

If you are *not* dealing with special relativity and its effects, then the answer becomes far more simple. If you are not moving and are standing on the ground, then you see a train moving past you a fast speed. In this case, the reference "frame" (not necessarily a point) is you and the object being described is the train. If you flipped the roles, then it would be someone on the train watching you as the train moves. However, since it is from the train's perspective, it does not appear that the train is moving, but rather that you are moving away from the train, along with the rest of the world that passes the train by. This is described as the train being the reference frame and you would be the object described by the train. This is, again, just Galilean relativity. Special relativity puts a few twists on it and has some additional effects.
Technically, the person is resting itself, but is in motion as long as the train is moving. ================================================== There is no 'absolute' answer. All motion is relative to the 'frame' in which it's measured. A physicist on the same train, sitting across the aisle from the person, observes the person to be at 'rest' in the physicist's frame. Another physicist, sitting in his car at a crossing, watching the train go by, observes the person to be moving past him at 50 mph. Both physicists are correct, because they're making their measurements in different 'reference frames'. By the way . . . the physicist in his car observes the physicist in the train to be moving too. At the same time, the physicist in the train is so at rest that he's preparing to take a nap. Have you ever read a book while you're in a passenger jet flying along at 400 mph ? Were you at rest or moving ? The answer is 'yes'. ============================================================== Very good point.
acceleration is a relative quantity . state of rest or motion is also relative . if two body is in rest or moving with same velocity and having same acceleration then one is in state of rest with respect to other . suppose a person sitting in a train then he is in rest with respect to train but he is moving with the acceleration of train with respect to the ground.
