Solution

The inertia of motion:

The tendency of a body to resist any change in its condition of uniform motion is referred to as inertia of motion.

inertia

Examples of inertia of motion:

  1. Whenever a bus traveller attempts to leap off, the inertia of motion leads the individual to drop and otherwise briefly lose balance. This is because whenever the traveller leaps, the body's inertia of motion seeks to fight the switch in condition.
  2. When riding as a passenger on a motorbike, the driver's abrupt use of the brakes leads the passenger to be pushed forwards. This is due to the fact that the passenger continues in forwarding movement, the inertia of motion constantly resists the adjustment throughout the state of motion.
