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.

Is it possible that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while is it at rest?

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.


Have you ever experienced that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while you are at rest?

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.


Why does a train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest?

Your brain is used to perceiving motion relative to stationary objects, such as the buildings and landscape passing by. When sitting in a stationary train, it can create the illusion that the train is moving if you observe things outside the window passing by. This phenomenon is known as "relative motion."


Can a train appear to be at rest while moving?

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.


When a person is sitting in a train the train is moving is the person in rest or motion?

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.

How does the maglev train differ from a normal train?

The biggest difference is that a maglev train is not touching anything while it is traveling, while a normal train is sitting on steel rails at all times.


Someone experienced that the train in which he was sitting appeared to move while it was at rest but in fact a train on the neighboring platform was departing what is the reason for it?

If the train appeared to be moving while it was at rest, it is because of inertia.
