Lets start with very intresting chapter of class 9 MOTION
when there is movement of body ,or object change its position the object is said to be in the motion ,
note -distance and time are important in describing motion .

your tied friend is staionary and you are moving away from it and you cover some small daistance with passage of time so simply you are in motion ,so whenever there is movement of body with respect to a refrence point object is said to be in motion.
