Question

A book lying on the table is an example of a body neither at rest nor in motion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. If the position of a body changes with time with respect to its surrounding then the body is said to be in motion.
2. If the position of the body is not changing with time with respect to a reference point then the body is said to be at rest.
3. A book lying on a table does not change its position with time.
4. Therefore the body lying on a table is said to be at rest.

Thus, the given statement is false.
