The principle of inertia No force is required to maintain motion with constant velocity in a straight line, and absolute motion does not cause any observable physical effects. In layman's terms: An object that is moving will keep moving until something stops it.

What is the scientific way for interia?

Inertia is a commonly considered a property of mass. It is a measure of how difficult it is to accelerate (or decelerate) the object. Inertia is proportional to mass. Newton's use of the word is on the context of a principle. i.e. the principle of inertia is an object's inability to change its velocity (a vector) unless acted upon by an external force.


What basic principle of force and motion is important in designing safe cars and airbag technology?

Inertia


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.


Is inertia what makes a boat go downward when you stand up?

It's a combination of Inertia and Newton's third law of motion. The principle that can be applied is " for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Are dominoes falling inertia?

Yes, when dominoes are set in motion and fall, they are following the principle of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once the dominoes start falling, they will continue to do so until acted upon by an external force.


Who was the first person to study inertia?

The concept of inertia was first described by Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. Galileo's experiments and observations led to the understanding that objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, which is a key principle of inertia.


What is a non-example of inertia?

A non-example of inertia would be a moving object coming to a stop without any external force or resistance acting upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so an object stopping on its own would not demonstrate this principle.


What explains the principal of inertia?

The principle of inertia, as described by Newton's first law of motion, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This principle highlights the inherent tendency of objects to maintain their current state of motion.


Is football tackle a example of inertia of motion?

Inertia is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest. The person being tackled, if he is stationary then tries to move out of the way but is unable to, would be demonstrating the principle of inertia. The person doing the tackling would be demonstrating the principle of momentum - the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion and following the same vector. A simpler example of inertia would be trying to move a boulder that is sitting in your yard. The boulder is very heavy, and at rest, and trying to get it moving is very difficult because of the inertia.


Show a picture of an inertia please?

Inertia is an idea, or the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion. It is represented numerically by an object's mass. The principle of inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics which are used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces. It does not have a picture.


Which of Newton's laws explain inertia?

newton's first law of motion is also known as LAW OF INERTIA. inertia is the property of a body by which every body if is in rest it tends to remain in rest and if in motion it tends to remain in motion.


Why ball is in the law of inertia?

The ball remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This is known as Newton's first law of motion, which is a fundamental principle in the law of inertia.
