Inertia is the ability of any physical object to remain in its state of motion or rest unless acted upon by an external un balanced force.

Eg:Say that a ball is kept stationary on a floor.It will not move unless a force is applied on the ball.So an external force by a person is needed to move the ball i.e is to set it in motion.

This ability of the ball to remain in a state of rest without changing its positon is called inertia..(Unless acted upon by an external force)

Eg:Say the ball is moving along a straight line it will continune to move in a straight line(neglect the friction) unless acted upon by an external force to change its path or to to stop it.

This ability of the ball to remain in a state of motion without changing its positon

is called inertia.(Unless acted upon by an external force)
