Is at rest the same as not moving?

Okay, so is “at rest” the same as “not moving?” Hmm, good question! Basically, yeah, when something’s at rest, it’s not moving.

Think of it like this: imagine your phone sitting on your desk. Right now, it’s at rest, right? It’s not going anywhere, at least not on its own. In physics terms, and I’m no physicist by any means, lol, but from what I remember, they say an object “at rest” has a position that’s fixed – meaning it’s not changing where it is compared to, say, the desk it’s sitting on, or even you, if you’re looking at it. Its location just…stays put. No crazy adventures happening (unless you count the occasional vibration from a text message, haha!). So yeah, at rest really just boils down to not moving. Simple as that, I guess!
