What is the difference between friction and inertia? Are they same in some aspect?
What is the difference between friction and inertia? Are they same in some aspect?
First point is, Inertia is property while friction is force.
According to Nweton’s first law, Inertia is a property by virtue of which a body in rest tends to remain in rest and that in motion tends to remain in motion in the same direction and uniform speed (a=0).
Suppose, if someone tries to change its speed or state of rest of a body, an acceleration will be produced (a≠0) and as a result of which a force (F=ma≠0) will be produced. So the force produced while stopping a moving object all depends on acceleration and mass of the body and inertia is just a property which produces an acceleration.
Friction is a resistive force when a body is motion with contact with another body (contact force). .
In short Inertia is the property of the body by virtue of which it tends to continue the state in which it was …similar to laziness ,whereas friction is force between two surfaces .friction is a dissipative force
