Nothing gives an object inertia. Inertia is not a force. It is just the tendency of an object to continue in its motion if there is no force acting upon it.

Is it true that the law of inertia is one of Newton's laws?

Inertia is involved in Newtons' laws. Link below.


Which of newtons laws is also referred to as the law of inertia?

Newton's first law is also referred to as the law of inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.


How are newton's laws used in football?

newtons laws are contributed by while the foot ball is in the air inertia acts on it.


Which of newtons laws of motion best illustrated the principle of inertia?

Newton's first law of motion states and describes the principleof inertia. But none of his laws of motion illustratesanything.


What makes an object in motion to stay in motion?

An object in motion stays in motion due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. If no external force is acting on the object to slow it down or change its direction, it will continue moving at a constant velocity.

What newtons laws happen in the falling of an object?

The object accelerates downwards in response to the attractive force of gravity.


What does newtons laws of inertia have to do with sports?

Newton's first law of inertia states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is commonly observed in sports, where athletes must exert force to overcome inertia and accelerate or change direction. For example, a baseball player must exert force to throw a ball and a soccer player must exert force to kick a ball in order to overcome inertia and set the object in motion.


What are the different types of inertia?

The different types of inertia are inertia of rest (tendency of an object to remain at rest), inertia of motion (tendency of an object to continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed), and inertia of direction (tendency of an object to resist changes in its direction of motion).


What are the Newtons laws?

1st law: the law of Inertia states an object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2nd law: force, motion and acceleration are related. 3rd law: for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction


What is the effect when the object applied in force?

the effect is that there is a equal and oppsite force. one of newtons laws


What is sir Isaac Newtons 1 law?

Of the Newtons laws of motion the first one states that:(quoting Newton)...every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.
