    Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia).

  2. Law of inertia states that an object will continue to be either in a state of motion or in a state of rest unless an external force acts on it. Know more about the law of inertia along with examples @BYJU’S.

  3. Inertia is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line with constant speed. This key property of objects was first described by Galileo.

  4. Inertia describes the relative amount of resistance to change that an object possesses. The greater the mass the object possesses, the more inertia that it has, and the greater its tendency to not accelerate as much.

    Apr 18, 2021 · Inertia is the tendency of matter to resist change in Velocity. It is an inherent property of matter; the inertia of an object is directly proportional to its Mass and can in fact be used to define mass. Newton's First Law of Motion states that the velocity of an object does not change unless there is an unbalanced force acting on it.

  7. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion. Inertia is related to an object’s mass. Mass is the quantity of matter in a substance.
