What is inertia of rest?

 hii

a tendency of a body to resist to a change in its state of rest is called inertia of rest

eg. when a bus starts suddenly a passanger experiences a jerk backwards. now foot is in contact with the floor, so due to frictional force foot move along with the bus, but the upper part of the body which was at rest, tends to  remain at rest (due to inertia of rest) and hence experiences a jerk backwards.

Inertia is the characteristic of matter by which a body at rest remains at rest, and a moving body remains in motion, until/unless some unbalanced force acts upon the body.

Inertia of rest is the famous demonstration of inertia, usually involving a dining table covered with a cloth and set with dishes, etc. A quick pull, and the cloth can be removed from the table with the settings intact and in close to the same positions as before. The inertia of the dishes keeps them where they are.

Inertia of redyt

An object in rest wants to remain in rest. This property is called inertia of rest.

the tendency of an object to be at rest untill unless any external unbalanced force act on it is called inertia of rest
