Write true or false for the following statements:

A body is said to be at rest, if it does not change its position with respect to the reference point.

True


Whenever we talk about the motion of a body, we talk with respect to a reference frame that is at rest. So, if particles’ position does not change with time, which means that the velocity of the particle is zero, then the body can be considered at rest. This can also be depicted via the distance – time graph, where velocity = = 0.
