what is meant by 'inertia'? what are the diffrent types of inertia? give two examples in each case
Dear Student,
Inertia -A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
Types-
Directional inertia-if a bus tkes a turn then passengers sitting in tends to remain in the same direction in which the bus was travelling before.
motion inertia-if a bus stops suddenly then the passengers fall forward due to inertia of motion.
rest inertia- if a carpet is beaten with a stick then the dust particles due to inertia of rest tends to remain in rest while the fibers of carpet becomes in motion.
