1. Rest, Motion, and Relativity

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Rest : the state in which an object does not change its position relative to its surroundings
  • Motion : the state in which an object changes its position relative to its surroundings
  • Relative motion : the motion of an object described with respect to another object or observer

Essential Points

  • A passenger in a moving train is at rest relative to other passengers but in motion relative to a person standing outside.

Memory Hook

Rest for one observer can be motion for another.
