Motion and Reference Point | Rest and Motion | Class 11 Physics

An object is said to be motion if its position changes with respect to its surroundings in a given time. On the other hand, if the position of the object does not change with respect to its surroundings it is said to be in motion. An object in one situation can be at rest but in another situation, the same object can be in motion. For example: Consider a person sitting on a moving train. The person sitting in a moving train is at rest with respect to the other passengers but he is in motion with respect to the objects outside the train. Similarly, someone sitting at the house is at rest with respect to earth but it is in motion with respect to other planets. Hence it is said that rest and motion are relative. The motion of an object is always said relative to an observer or something at rest. #motion #referencepoint #rest Download Toppr App: Andriod Play Store: http://bit.ly/2jTmjef iOS App Store: http://apple.co/2A8pIdz Download Doubts on Chat App: Andriod Play Store:http://bit.ly/2B6w7oy iOS App Store: http://apple.co/2ziAA75 Subscribe to Toppr: https://www.youtube.com/toppr?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingToppr Twitter: https://twitter.com/mytoppr Instagram: https://instagram.com/mytoppr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/topp...
