Solution

Motion is defined as a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed.

If the position of a body is not changing with the time with respect to a given frame of reference, the body is said to be at rest. Otherwise, it is said to be in motion.
