Answer:

yes

Explanation:

it is possible that a body can be moving and at rest at the Same time. this is relative motion. an object that seem to be in motion for one subject can be stationary for another.

For example, A passenger in a bus. he/she is moving for a person walking on the pathway. but for the passenger next to him/her, they are at rest.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible if you take into account different points of reference.

If you are in a car, sitting on a seat, while the car is moving, you are not moving with respect with the car. Since the car is moving with respect to the ground, you are moving with respect to the ground.

If you think bigger, you are always in motion. You may be standing in a position not moving at all with respect to the ground, but since the Earth is moving around the sun, you are moving with respect to the sun.
