No, inertia is derived from the first law
: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force
in this case, velocity is 0m/s and therefore remains constant
inertia also exist in moving objects as well.

∙ 12y agoThe law of inertia is also known as Newton's 1st law, and it states and an object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an external force, and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

What is newtons first law of motion What term summarizes this law?
newton's first law of motion is; objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. A term that summarizes this law could be that when a wheelchair is standing still, it is not in motion, the only way that the wheelchair can move is unless an outside force (person) acts on it, causing the wheel chair to change distance.
Do resting object have interia?
A which mass has resistance to a force acting on it has inertia. Ah, but then the amount of inertia must be qualified based on other characteristics. So it's a tricky question. You could quickly say yes, but not always easy to quantify unless you know the force (in Newtons) that is required to change it from the state of rest to motion. Gravity is a nice example of inertia using the force equation F= (Gm m')/r 2 Where G is the gravitational constant. m and m' are two masses, and r is the distance between them. F is the force required to move the objects toward each other, In the case of a large mass like earth a soccer ball is a small mass and if held by a player we know that there it has inertia, we know the force of gravity.
What unit could measure the power generated by an object?
newtons
What was Isaac newtons 2 rule?
The second law is about how the force affects the motion. A relatively small force could make, say, a tennis ball accelerate a lot (e.g. changing its direction completely), but could not make the motion of, for example, a truck change very much. This is because the mass of the objects are very different. Similarly, if two objects had the same mass, a large force would change the motion a lot, where as a small force not so much. So the change in motion depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object.
How does dropping an object in a moving vehicle demonstrate the law of inertia?
The act of dropping an object in a moving vehicle demonstrates the law of inertia due to the fact that the object does not go flying to the back of your car. This is because the object holds the same velocity as the car. How this can be proven is you can take a penny and speed up just as you drop the coin, the penny should shift backwards from your point of reference. If you slow down just the opposite will happen, the coin will shift forward. If you take a right turn the coin will seem to move to the left and vice versa. Inertia is the tendency of an object to move according to Newton's First Law of Motion as demonstrated in these examples. Archimedes had thought that if you toss and object in the air while in motion it should fall to the same spot it was thrown directly up; the name he have to this motion was natural motion but what more could you expect from a philosopher rather than a physicist.
Could someone give me a word that means the same as An object on motion will tend to stay in motion?
Inertia,

How does inertia affect an object?
Inertia guarantees that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in that same motion, so long as there is no external force acting on that object. Alternately, there could be force acting on it as long as that force adds up to zero.
Air in motion is called?
When Air is in motion it is called the wind. It Could also be called a breeze or wind current
What is any change in an object's motion called?
The change in an object's motion, is simply force.The object cannot change motion unless acted upon by an outside force. For example: If I throw a baseball, it will never stop unless acted upon by gravity (or the outside force). Or the outside force could be it smacking into a wall or your friends head.
What do you call a force that maintains motion?
It could be called superfluous. No force is necessary to maintain motion.
What is the relation between force and mass given by Newton's II law of gravitation?
In short Form, Inertia.(I could be confusing it with 1 or 3, but im pretty sure its right)Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
Tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest?
An object will stay still or move at a constant speed unless a force acts on it. Objects tend to stay at rest on earth because of friction, or a balance of forces between gravity and tension (eg a PC sitting on a desk). Answer2: Inertia, mass has inertia.
What is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving?
An object that is IN motion tends to remain that way. Check out Newton's laws of thermodynamics. Basically, he postulated that things moving tend to keep moving, things stationary tend to stay stationary, and left to themselves, most thing degrade into chaos. This might sound silly, but you have to examine the statement a bit more. It's 'outside' forces, like gravity, friction, etc that act on objects to alter their movement or lack thereof. If you can imagine, for example a large glass bowl that has a vacuum inside it, and somehow, you could negate the force of gravity and friction as well. If you set a top spinning in the bowl, it would continue to spin forever - no friction to slow it down, no gravity to cause it to tip over, no air to cause drag, etc etc.
Inertia is a force?
Put simply, inertia is the measure of an object's reluctance to change its state of motion. The object's state of motion may be stationary or flying through space at 20,000 km/hr. The unit for measuring inertia in the SI is the same as for mass: the Kilogram. Inertia (mass) can be expected to increase when an object is traveling at relativistic (near the speed of light) speeds.Supervisor's note: The following answer is looking for a clear-headed makeover.Inertia is NOT a force because Inertia just is the resistance to change in motion. An object's inertia never changes.Here is something to think about so you can answer the question yourself...If you slide a pencil on the floor away from any object that could block it the pencil still stops. Do you think it is because gravity or inertia did it? No. The thing is inertia is just like the Law of conservation. All objects,energy, etc. follow it but inertia is not A FORCE that stops a car when it hits a wall. It is an outside force like friction which is what stoped the pencil from countinuing to slide on the ground. An object's inertia can change but not it's amount, because there is no amount of inertia because like i said before inertia is like a law, all objects have inertia (meaning they all follow the rule of inertia) If there were no other outside force like gravity and friction then when we could not accelarate and there would be no inertia. I know this paragraph makes no sence but to me this is how i look at inertia. As a law or property of matter and not a force. One last thing to think about. Does inertia change anything... if so write a disscusion and tell me what you think it changes and if a car crashes DID INERTIA CAUSE THAT...
What are two examples of objects at rest?
Newton's first law basically says that an object in motion that is not acted on by any other forces will stay in motion and an object at rest that is not acted on by any other forces will stay at rest. An example of an object in motion staying in motion could be an astronaut floating in outer space. As long as there is no gravity force acting on him (and there is no drag because space is a vacuum) the astronaut will continue to float at the same speed and in the same direction forever.
