Question

Motion is always relative. The statement is

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Motion is always relative to a reference frame (usually a point called the origin).

Following is an example to support the statement. Assume a car moving with a uniform speed and a boy sitting inside throws a ball vertically upwards. If a person outside the car standing by the road was watching this, he would see the ball go up and down along with horizontally moving as fast as the car down the road. To the boy inside the car, the ball just goes straight up, and straight down relative to him.
