Definition

Inertia of an object refers to the reluctance of the object to change its state of rest or motion, due to its mass. #PhysicsDefinitions


Mass is the property that resists the change of motion (inertia). * Objects with greater mass will have greater intertia

Larger the mass of the object, harder it will be for an object to:

  • start moving
  • slow down
  • move faster
  • change direction

Always state: due to body’s inertia it wants to continue moving forward at a constant velocity as before in a straight line
