Question

Atif is going to school with his friend Rashmi in a van which is moving with constant acceleration. Now, answer the following question:
Rashmi, as seen by Atif is:

• A. Moving with constant velocity
• B. Moving with increasing velocity
• C. Moving with decreasing velocity
• D. At rest

Answer 1

The correct option is D

At rest

The motion depends on the point of view of the person who's judging the motion. When you are sitting in the van with your friend, you both will be called moving if seen by a person standing on the ground. But when you are judging the motion of your friend, you will see him at rest, because he is not moving with respect to you. In short - motion is relative.
