What is inertia of an object? Explain.

Solution

Explanation
Inertia is an intrinsic property of a body because of which the body opposes changes in its state of motion. A body continues to be in the state of rest or state of uniform motion in a straight line until an external unbalanced force is applied.
The magnitude of the force to be applied to change state of motion of a body depends on it mass.
