Solution

  1. Inertia is the property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line.
  2. When a bus or train at rest starts, to move suddenly, the passengers sitting in it jerk in the backward direction due to their inertia of rest.
