We know that mass is measure of inertia resist in motion of object. Even friction force resist in motion of object so can we say friction also a measure of inertia?

Solution

Dear Student , See inertia is tendency in which an object want to be in the same state but friction is an external force which resist that tendency so we can not exactly say that friction also measure the inertia. Regards
