This IS a trick question. But there is an answer to it.

well given that the earth is revolving we are moving fast but the earth is also rotating around the sun and our solar system is rotating around our galaxy i would say we are moving at extremly high speeds. not to meantion that the universe is constantly expainding so i cant give u a number but thats an idea for you.

I'm sitting down, so to my couch I'm as still as perhaps a potato aging at one second per second. Let those other objects like the car driving down the road, and everything outside of earth's atmosphere (and much of what is in it as well, especially that plane flying overhead), explain themselves in a textbook.

Given rotation of earth, orbit of earth, movement of solar system, movement of milky way, etc., it depends. Moving relative to what? It has been augured that as the universe expands, space itself is moving. Therefore no 'absolute' reference for motion is possible.

well it is indeed tricky... if you're not moving on earth the reletive speed of yours respect to earth is 0.
But we know earth is rotating so you have approximately the tangential velocity of it.. but is that all??
No
earth orbits around sun & sun around some star & it may orbit around some other galaxy ...... it never ends...
so the ABSOLUTE velocity of an object can never be calculated...
It's the reletive speed you calculate...
** dont get too serious about this kinda stuff.... lol!!

Earth rotation speed plus fall speed of our galaxy through the endless universe...
Quite a lot, I think...

Because you did not say "how fast are you moving..relative to what? I venture a guess as..the same as you.

Well i just farted, so i would say the twice the speed of sound.
but in a solar perspective, 30km/second

Relative to my own reference system, I'm not moving.

I'm not. The universe revolves around me.
