What Is Relative Motion In Physics? With Example #shorts

Relative motion all about how things appear to move in relation to each other, depending on one’s perspective.

Imagine you’re sitting in a car, and you look out the window at a passing cyclist. From your point of view, it seems like the cyclist is moving backward. But wait! If you were riding a bike alongside the cyclist, they would seem to be stationary, or not moving at all.

That is because relative motion is all about how things move in relation to each other. The way you perceive motion depends on where you’re observing it from.

For Example
When a plane is flying in the air, it appears to be stationary to passengers on the plane. However, to a person walking on the ground below, the plane appears to be moving. This is an example of relative motion because the motion of the plane in this case depends on the observer’s perspective.
