until I start to travel backwards is there a point in between where I can be considered motionless?

I know the answer but my brother doesn't believe me, so I'm after a bit of back-up.

Physically speaking, yes. The point at which you change direction is the point at which you are considered motionless - like throwing a ball into the air. At the top of its ascent, it is motionless.

Yes, your velocity must go from positive to negative. At an infinitesimally short instant, your velocity will be zero, meaning you are considered motionless.

There's a point in every moment that we can be considered "motionless", at the so called point.

Yes there is. It would be impossible to reverse direction without stopping. In some cases we are talking micro seconds but you still need to stop lol

yes there is.. tell him since your velocity will travel feom positive to negative, the has to and has to be a moment where u 'll be at zero. a very small one infinitesimal yes.

Yes.

No because inertia takes effect and your flab will still move forward until you fully start to reverse.
