Inertia is a fundamental property of all objects having mass. Mass resists the change in motion. Inertia applies to both the states of a body i.e., body at rest and at motion. Inertia is applicable to all objects in everyday life. For example " your body will continue to move forward because of inertia, when suddenly brake are applied during driving"

Inertia is generally given by Newton's first law of motion, which is also called as "the law of inertia". This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. The more massive an object is, the greater will be its inertia, meaning that s it will require more force to change its state of motion.

Inertia is the reluctance any material or object has to change in its state of motion. So yes inertia changes just not when it is in motion.

What are the kinds of inertia?

There are actually 3 kinds of inertia. They are as follows : 1. Inertia of Rest 2. Inertia of Motion 3. Inertia of Direction But nowadays people consider that there are 2 kinds of inertia , inertia of rest and inertia of motion.


A tractor trailer truck and a car are traveling at exactly the same speed and both drivers apply equal braking force at exactly the same moment Does the truck have greater inertia or less inertia?

All you need to know to answer this question is whether the truck is heavier than the car. Assuming this is true, yes, the truck does have a greater inertia. Inertia is related directly to mass, so because m_truck > m_car, inertia_truck > inertia_car. Generally, inertia refers to the ability to change the velocity of an object.
