      • inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

  2. Dec 28, 2020 · The principle of inertia describes the tendency of an object to remain in a state of rest or remain in motion at a constant velocity. It is thus a measure of an object's resistance to changing its state, be it a moving body or something sitting on a table.

  4. Jul 1, 2023 · What is inertia and can you give an example? Inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless that state is changed by an external force. An example of inertia is when you jump upward in a moving train, you land in the same spot because you retain your horizontal ...

  5. Inertia is the fundamental property that makes all matter oppose any force that would cause a change in its motion. The law of inertia was first formulated by Galileo Galilei for horizontal motion on Earth and was later perfected by René Descartes .
