The two states of motion are:

  1. Rest: Rest refers to an object's state when it is not changing its position with respect to its surroundings. In other words, an object at rest remains stationary and does not undergo any displacement.

  2. Motion: Motion refers to the state of an object when it changes its position over time relative to its surroundings. It involves a change in location or displacement with respect to a reference point or frame of reference. Motion can occur in various forms, such as linear motion (straight-line motion), circular motion, oscillatory motion, and more.

It's important to note that motion is relative, meaning it depends on the frame of reference chosen. An object may be at rest relative to one frame of reference but in motion relative to another. This principle is explained by Galilean relativity and further expanded upon by Einstein's theory of special relativity.
