Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Any object is said to be in the state of motion or the state of rest only with respect to a starting point of the object, known as the origin or reference point. So this reference point is important to decide whether a particular object is at rest or in motion. When the object changes its position with respect to its origin over time, it is said to be in motion. When the object doesn't change its position from its origin with the passage of time, the object is said to be at rest.
