Question

What is inertia and acceleration

Open in App
Solution

INERTIA.

Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist a change in motion or rest. When a vehicle stops, you tend to jerk forward before coming to a complete stop. In the same way, you will jerk backwards when the vehicle begins to move.

The phenomenon occurs because of Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object at rest (or motion ) will continue to be in the same state unless acted upon by an external force. Which means objects tend to “keep on doing what they’re doing,” unless disturbed.

ACCELERATION.

Acceleration is the increase in the rate of speed of something or more scientifically: It's the measure of how quickly the velocity of an object changes it's unit of measurement is (m/s^2) .
or in other words,Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.
