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!
