Question

What do you understand by the term inertia?

Answer 1

1. Inertia is defined as a property of matter by which it remains at the state of rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.
2. The law of inertia, also known as Newton’s first law of motion states that an object will continue to be in the state of rest or in a state of motion unless an external force acts on it.
