Can a moving object be selected as a reference object?
Any moving object can be redefined as a frame of reference at rest, from which all other moving frames can be measured. That's a fundamental precept of Relativity. It's motion is defined only in relation to some other object from which the motion is measured, so reselection as the rest frame is necessary, but once established as a rest frame, it is (for the purpose of measurement) no longer considered to be in motion. Since everything is moving in relation to everything else, any frame can be selected as the frame of reference at rest, with all other motion measured relative to it.
Is earth's surface currently moving away from the rest of the planet?
No. The surface of the earth is held to the planet by gravity. However parts of the surface move relative one to another - this is called plate tectonics.
What is absolute rest and absolute motion?
motion : when a body is moving or changing its position with respect to its surroundings is called motion. rest: when a body is not moving or fixed at a place with respect to its surroundings is called rest.
Tendency for a stationary object to remain at rest or for a moving object to continue moving?
ammonia....'_'
What do you call the tendency of matter to stay at at rest if it is at rest of to to move if it is moving?
The Law of Inertia.
What is at rest relative to a seated passsenger in a moving car?
Everything else in the car that is not itself rotating etc. is at rest relative to the passenger -- the seats, car body, dashboard, windows, etc, "At rest" is in this case just another way to say "moving at the same velocity."
A passenger in the rear car of a train moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to?
The train.
A passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to what?
The front seat of the car.
A passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to?
the front seat of the car I think.....
Which situation can you be at rest and moving at the same time?
Being at rest is a relative term. Relative to earth we are at rest when we are sitting down. However, you are moving because the earth is moving its orbit around the sun.

As a passenger in a car !
Prove that rest and motion are relative terms?
Actually sitting on the earth we feel as if we are at rest. But relative to the pole star we are moving along a circular path. Also relative to the sun we are moving along an elliptical path around the sun. So actually speaking we are not at rest. In the same nothing is stationary. Everything is in motion. Rest means only a relative term.
How are rest and motion relative terms?
When an object is at rest, it is only at rest compaired to the observer. Consider that if you are in a moving vehicle then your passenger is at rest from your point of view, but to an observer, outside the vehicle the passenger and you are both in motion. Similarly to you inside the vehicle the observer outside is moving . as the earth itself is in motion, as well as the sun and in fact the whole galaxy, their is no way to absolutely define an at rest state, so all motion is measured relative to the observer, who is assumed to be at rest compaired to the observation.
Can the train appear to be rest at rest while moving?
Yes and no. All motion is relative. When you say you are moving you mean in relation to something else. If are on the train and you choose something that moving alongside you at the same speed (another train for instance) then you are not moving relative to that, however you are moving in relation to the countryside. Both trains are moving in relation to a cow in the field.
All motion is relative?
All motion is relative. The question "is this object moving?" is in fact meaningless unless we specify "moving relative to what other object". Similarly, there is no such thing as "absolute rest": it's just as true to say that the road is moving at 50 km/h relative to your car as it is to say that your car is moving at 50 km/h relative to the road.
