The passengers in a moving bus observe that the trees, buildings as well as the people on the roadside appear to be moving backwards. Similarly, a person standing on the roadside observes that the bus (along with its passengers) is moving in forward direction. But, at the same time, each passenger in a moving bus or train observes, his fellow passengers sitting and not moving. Thus, we can tell that motion is relative.
The table given below shows distance (n cm) travelled by bodies A, B and C. Read this data carefully and answer the following questions. Distance (in cm) covered by different bodies.
| Time in (s) | Body (A) | Body (B) | Body (C) |
| 1stSecond | 20 | 20 | 20 |
| 2ndSecond | 20 | 36 | 60 |
| 3rdSecond | 20 | 24 | 100 |
| 4thSecond | 20 | 30 | 140 |
| 5thSecond | 20 | 48 | 180 |
Observe the graph carefully and answer the following questions. (i) Which part of the graph shows the squirrel moving away from the tree? (ii) Name the point on the graph which is 6 m away from the base of the tree. (ii) Which part of the graph shows that the squirrel is not moving? (iv) Which part of the graph shows that the squirrel is returning to the tree? (v) Calculate the speed of the squirrel from the graph during its journey.
