What term is used to describe the amount of motion that an object possess?

The term used to describe the amount of motion that an object possesses is "kinetic energy." This energy is associated with the motion of an object relative to a reference point.


Does friction oppose motion or relative motion of surface in contact?

Friction opposes the relative motion of surfaces in contact. It acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces.


Prove that rest and motion are relative terms?

Actually sitting on the earth we feel as if we are at rest. But relative to the pole star we are moving along a circular path. Also relative to the sun we are moving along an elliptical path around the sun. So actually speaking we are not at rest. In the same nothing is stationary. Everything is in motion. Rest means only a relative term.


What is meant by the statement rest and motion are relative terms give example to show it?

The statement "rest and motion are relative terms" means that whether an object is considered at rest or in motion depends on the observer's frame of reference. For example, a person sitting on a bus is at rest relative to the bus, but in motion relative to a person standing on the street. This illustrates that rest and motion are relative concepts.


All motion is relative to what?

All motion is relative to yourself, as there is no fixed point anywhere in our universe, as it is all traveling away from the center of the big bang. But if we ever find where the bigbang happened, that would be where all motion is relative to

Why is it said that motion is a relative term?

Motion is not a 'relative term'. Motion is relative.The book that you're reading on the airliner while you fly to the coast ismoving at 600 mph relative to somebody on the ground. But relative toyou and your eyes, the book is not moving at all, and you have no troublereading it until you fall asleep ... in the seat which is also moving at 600 mphrelative to that guy on the ground.Now comes the kicker: What is the real speed of the book ?Answer: There is no such thing. Motion is relative. The book, and anythingelse, only ever has speed that is relative to something else. And it can easilyhave 300 different speeds, relative to 300 different other things, which are allmoving relative to each other.


What term is defined as a changed in an objects position relative to a reference point?

A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.

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.
