How are rest and motion relative terms?
When an object is at rest, it is only at rest compaired to the observer. Consider that if you are in a moving vehicle then your passenger is at rest from your point of view, but to an observer, outside the vehicle the passenger and you are both in motion. Similarly to you inside the vehicle the observer outside is moving . as the earth itself is in motion, as well as the sun and in fact the whole galaxy, their is no way to absolutely define an at rest state, so all motion is measured relative to the observer, who is assumed to be at rest compaired to the observation.
When do you say an object is at rest and in motion?
An object is considered at rest when it is not changing its position over time. On the other hand, an object is said to be in motion when it is changing its position relative to a reference point over time.
When can we say that an object is in motion?
An object is considered to be in motion when its position changes relative to a reference point over time. Movement can be measured in terms of distance traveled in a specific direction.
Is it true to say that a train in which you are travelling is in motion and also at rest?
It's all in your "frame of reference". If you're in a train - say, in the baggage car, where there are no windows, and the track is smooth and straight and the shock absorbers and springs are REALLY good - then you may not be able to feel or see any motion. Your "frame of reference" is that baggage car. You are at rest. If you go up to the normal car and sit in your seat and look out the window, then your "frame of reference" is large enough for you to see the movement; you are in motion. We sometimes get motion sickness when we have TWO frames of reference imposed on us at once; we're in an airplane with the window curtains closed, so we SEE that we're at rest, but we can FEEL the movement of the airplane. Our brains get confused, and we get sick.
An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
A body which is in both rest and motion?
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.

All motion is relative?
All motion is relative. The question "is this object moving?" is in fact meaningless unless we specify "moving relative to what other object". Similarly, there is no such thing as "absolute rest": it's just as true to say that the road is moving at 50 km/h relative to your car as it is to say that your car is moving at 50 km/h relative to the road.
When we can say the object is in motion?
When its position is changing relative to our position. Note: all motion is relative to something else.

Can the train appear to be rest at rest while moving?
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.
If an objects position does not change relative to a reference point is it in motion relative to that reference point?
If we're in the realm of newtonian physics I would say that it couldn't be in motion relative to a reference point, of course quantum physics and seems to prove everything we believe wrong.
When we can say that the object is in motion?
An object is considered to be in motion when its position changes with respect to a reference point over a period of time. The object's motion can be described in terms of its speed, direction, and acceleration.
What does Newton first law of motion say about objects in motion?
The law states "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
