Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. This principle explains why seatbelts are important in vehicles; they help keep passengers secure when the car suddenly stops, as their bodies tend to continue moving forward due to inertia.
