Open in App
Solution

Inertia

  1. The concept is inertia is introduced through Newton's first law of motion.
  2. According to Newton's first law of motion, a body at rest tends to be in the state of rest, or a body in motion tends to be in the state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
  3. This virtue of a body to maintain its original state is called inertia.

Examples of Inertia

The examples of inertia in daily life are:

  1. When we beat the carpet with a stick, the carpet begins to move, but the dust particles within it remain in their resting position. The dust particles fall out of the carpet as a result of the constant beating, leaving us with a clean carpet.
  2. Inertia is responsible for the motion of satellites around the Earth and the orbiting of all planets around the Sun.
  3. When the bus makes a sudden turn, the passengers tend to lean right or left.
