Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant speed and direction, unless acted upon by an external force.
Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object. This means that the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia will be, and the harder it will be to change its state of motion.
Some examples of inertia in everyday life include the feeling of being pushed back into your seat when a car accelerates, the difficulty in stopping a moving object such as a bicycle or a shopping cart, and the tendency for objects to fall straight down when dropped instead of moving in a curved path.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest or in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This law is also known as the Law of Inertia, as it describes how inertia affects the motion of objects.
Yes, inertia can be overcome by applying an external force to an object. This force will cause the object to accelerate or decelerate, changing its state of motion. However, the amount of force required to overcome an object's inertia depends on the object's mass - the greater the mass, the greater the inertia and the more force will be needed to change its motion.
