The law of inertia states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. In simpler terms, objects tend to keep doing what they are already doing unless something else changes that.

This is an easy one. You can put "Inertia is Newton's First Law of Motion." Is that good enough for ya?c:


How does shot put display inertia?

In shot put, inertia is demonstrated when the shot put remains at rest until a force (throwing motion) is applied to it. Once the shot put is in motion, it will continue moving in a straight line until acted upon by an external force, such as air resistance or gravity. This showcases the concept of inertia as described by Newton's first law of motion.

What is define of inertia of rest?

The inertia of rest refers to an object's resistance to being put into motion when it is at rest. It is a property of matter where an object will remain at rest unless a force is applied to it. This concept is one of the fundamental principles of classical mechanics described by Newton's first law of motion.

What are some of example of Newtons law?

Which one? If it's the one about inertia, put a paper cup/plate on a table cloth. Jerk the table cloth away from the table really fast, but not too violently, and the paper will stay. Also, you can put a marble in a jar full of water. Swirl the water around by moving the jar in circular motions for a few seconds, then stop swirling and the marble will still be moving. That's Newton's first law of Inertia.


Explain how the law of inertia relates to seat belt safety?

The law of inertia, simply put, in terms of seat belt safety means that on impact, the car that was going 55mph stops almost instantly, while the contents of the car, for example, the passenger continues at 55mph. Therefore, without restraints, the passengers slam into the dash at 55mph causing serious bodily harm.


Inertia is a force?

Put simply, inertia is the measure of an object's reluctance to change its state of motion. The object's state of motion may be stationary or flying through space at 20,000 km/hr. The unit for measuring inertia in the SI is the same as for mass: the Kilogram. Inertia (mass) can be expected to increase when an object is traveling at relativistic (near the speed of light) speeds.Supervisor's note: The following answer is looking for a clear-headed makeover.Inertia is NOT a force because Inertia just is the resistance to change in motion. An object's inertia never changes.Here is something to think about so you can answer the question yourself...If you slide a pencil on the floor away from any object that could block it the pencil still stops. Do you think it is because gravity or inertia did it? No. The thing is inertia is just like the Law of conservation. All objects,energy, etc. follow it but inertia is not A FORCE that stops a car when it hits a wall. It is an outside force like friction which is what stoped the pencil from countinuing to slide on the ground. An object's inertia can change but not it's amount, because there is no amount of inertia because like i said before inertia is like a law, all objects have inertia (meaning they all follow the rule of inertia) If there were no other outside force like gravity and friction then when we could not accelarate and there would be no inertia. I know this paragraph makes no sence but to me this is how i look at inertia. As a law or property of matter and not a force. One last thing to think about. Does inertia change anything... if so write a disscusion and tell me what you think it changes and if a car crashes DID INERTIA CAUSE THAT...
