what is the definition of inertia?
the tendency of objects to come to rest
the speed at which an object moves
the force that moves objects
the resistance of an object to a change in motion
Inertia is a fundamental concept in physics. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This property of objects to resist changes in their state of motion is what we call inertia.
