Question

Would it be possible for an object to have acceleration greater than zero and to be at rest at the same time? Explain.  

Answer 1

Answer : Yes.

Because, motion is always relative to something else. There is no “absolute” frame of reference.

For example, If you’re standing in an elevator - you’re at rest relative to the elevator, and being accelerated up/down relative to the earth as the elevator moves you. It’s all about view point.. and no single view is special.

A simple example is you sitting there reading this. You are both at rest sitting in your chair in your room in your house in your city or wherever, on the planet Earth. And, you are spinning through the universe at what, some farfetched number when you add up all the motions. Why do you ask this? It is not a special case, it is the most normal thing.
