When something is acted upon by an outside force so it would be like if you are swinging and a ball is thrown at you, you slow down because that ball hit you.
More examples:
The ever popular brake one. When you brake your car suddenly you go flying right? Well hopefully you'd be wearing your seat belt because that would be the outside force. The seat belt stops you from flying through the windshield. If not, then the windshield is the outside force slowing you down. That's the most obvious one. Think of a ball and a bat (above answer)... or a boulder rolling down a hill.
Okay another example is when, say in a car ride you go around one of those on-ramp things in a circle, you get pressed up against the side of the car right? That is inertia because your body wants to go straight but the outside force (aka the car) is turning you. I hope that helps!

∙ 8y ago- One example of inertia would be when you're riding in a car and you aren't wearing a seat belt so when the car stops abruptly you fly forward. The meaning of inertia is that when an object is in motion its resistance wants to stay in motion, and when an object is at rest it stays at rest. The seat belt stops you from flying through the windshield. If not, then the windshield is the outside force slowing you down. That's the most obvious one.
- Think of a ball and a bat, or a boulder rolling down a hill.
- When a car accelerates and you feel like you are pushed back into the chair.
- A ball rolling down a slippery slope onto a flat surface will keep going until it hits something or reaches the height it started from.
- In a car going round a corner, you feel pushed to the opposite side. This is usually called the centrifugal force, but no such force exists, this is inertia trying to keep you going in a straight line whilst the car turns into you.

∙ 13y agoInertia is the tendency for an object to continue moving at a constant speed and direction without any external forces acting upon it. An example of this would be a car moving in a curve. The car still wants to move and continue moving in a straight line but the force of the axles and steering wheel are causing it to follow the curve. Another example would be the planets in orbit. The force that keeps it in an elliptical orbit would be gravity, without gravity the planets would be forever moving at a constant speed and direction.
