What is inertia?
(N/A) Inertia is the inherent property of a body by virtue of which it resists any change in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.
It is a measure of the mass of an object; the greater the mass,the greater the inertia.
There are three types of inertia: inertia of rest,inertia of motion,and inertia of direction.
