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.

What is inertia and give examples?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. For example, a heavy object is harder to push or stop because it has more inertia. Inertia also explains why objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics the desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is termed .?

The desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is called inertia. "What it is doing" means that it is in motion or at rest,


Why do you feel pressed back into the seat of a car when it accelerates?

Inertia explains the feeling of getting pushed back in your car seat as the car begins to accelerate because as the car accelerates your body want to resist the forward motion the car is 'pulling' you in. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion


Which of Newton's Laws explains that it takes an applied force to start any object moving?

Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, explains that an object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an external force. This means that an applied force is required to overcome an object's inertia and start it moving.


Why are you pressed backward against the seat when your car rapidly accelerates?

Inertia explains the feeling of getting pushed back in your car seat as the car begins to accelerate because as the car accelerates your body want to resist the forward motion the car is 'pulling' you in. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion.


What are the kinds of inertia?
