What's inertia?
Physics
ScanSolve AI Answer
Inertia is the property of an object to resist any change in its state of motion. This means an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an external force. The measure of an object's inertia is its mass.
