What is inertia??

Dear Student,

Thank you for sharing your query with us.

Inertia is the natural tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion or of rest.
We can say that the mass of a body is a measure of its inertia.

We can further translate the idea of inertia to the inertia of motion, the inertia of rest and inertia of direction.

These, in turn, signify that a body in motion wants to remain in state of motion, a body in rest wants to stay in the state of rest and a body travelling in a certain direction has the tendency to continue to move in the same direction respectively, Any change in any of these states is resisted by the body.


I hope I have resolved your query.
