Vedclass · Answer

(A) In physics,the concepts of position and motion are defined with respect to a frame of reference. To describe the position of an object,we need a coordinate system or a reference point (origin). Similarly,motion is defined as the change in position of an object with respect to time and a chosen frame of reference. Since both depend on the observer's frame of reference,they are considered relative quantities.
