Answer:

relative motion is the motion of an object compared to that of another object.for example two cars driving in the same highway in the same direction.

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.
