- 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.

Aug 2, 2023 · Moment of inertia, also known as rotational inertia or angular mass, is a physical quantity that resists a rigid body’s rotational motion. It is analogous to mass in translational motion. It determines the torque required to rotate an object by a given angular acceleration.

- According to the law of inertia, An object will continue to be in the state of rest or in a state of motion unless an external force acts on it.
- Law of inertia is also known as Newton’s first law of motion.
- The tendency of moving back when the stationary bus starts to move. Moving forward when a sudden brake is applied.
Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). [1]

Inertia is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line with constant speed. This key property of objects was first described by Galileo.
Most of us are familiar with what happens when two identical objects (presumably, therefore, having the same inertia) collide: if the collision is head-on (so the motion, before and after, is confined to a straight line), they basically exchange velocities.
