Detailed explanation-1: -The resistance to change the state of an object’s motion is called inertia. Inertia depends on the mass of an object. Heavier the object, greater the resistance to change the state of motion will be.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term inertia may also refer to the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object’s speed or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.
