Question

What is inertia?

Open in App
Solution

Inertia is the property of an object due to which it resists a change in its state of motion. If the body is at rest, it will remain at rest and if a body is in motion, it will maintain its velocity until an unbalanced external force is applied to it.

Inertia is directly proportional to mass. More the mass, more will be the inertia.
