Newton First Law of motion states that "A body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line until/unless an external force is applied upon it" Why is it so? "Inertia is the property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line" Newton's first law of motion is also therefore known as law of inertia because of the inertia the body will remain in its initial state forever. And mass is the measure of the inertia of a body.
state of motion
The force that holds the planets in orbit is gravity, although inertia( the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.) help to hold it in place as well, because the two forces balance each other out.
interia cant hold planets together. here is the definition for INERTIA: Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.
1) The gravitational attraction between the planets and the Sun. 2) The "inertia" of the planets. That's their tendency to move in a straight line unless a force (gravity in this case) acts on them.
No, a bowling ball (or any other object) has exactly the same inertial mass no matter where it is (its actual inertia will, of course, depend upon its velocity as well as its inertial mass). Weight changes on the moon, but inertia doesn't.
I assume you mean, why do they exert gravitational attraction. ANY object with mass, so any object, exerts such a force on ANY other mass.
Inertia is the tendency that all objects resist a change in motion
To remain static (still, not moving).
Inertia is the tendency of any object to maintain it's exact momentum if not influenced by any additional force.
inertia
Inertia is the tendency of a moving object to remain moving. I am not aware of any "components".
This tendency is known as Inertia.
"inertia"
Going to guess you meant to say Inertia. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
The tendency is called inertia. The inertia of an object is directly related to its mass, since the effect of any given force depends on the mass and motion of the object (and whether the force acts with or against any other existing forces).
The ability of a body to maintain its state, either in motion or in rest position against any external force is called Inertia while the moment of inertia is defined as the measure of an object's resistance to any change in its state of rotation.
