Here's one example.

Suppose you're on a train. Now let's further suppose this is a very smooth-riding train and that the windows are covered up and you've never been on a train before.

As long as the train is going straight (no curves, no hills) and not accelerating or decelerating, it would be very difficult for you to tell you're moving relative to the outside world: everything in the train is moving at the same speed you are, or, to put it another way, you're all in the same frame of reference. That frame of reference may be moving 60 miles per hour relative to the outside world, but everything you can see or measure appears to be standing still.

Would you know you're moving in a train if there was no friction and you could not see out of the train ie can't see objects going past?

If the train is moving at a constant velocity, and therefore in an intertial reference frame, then, no, you could not tell that you were moving.


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.

You can define a frame of reference depending on your point of view, but it would normally be the Earth.
