Question

describe briefly two activites to illustrate the properties ;
1.inertia of rest
2.inertia of motion

Answer 1

Answer:

1.inertia of rest:

when a body resists to move then it is called inertia of rest.

ex: when you shake a tree, the fruits and leaves fall(as it resists the motion) instead of moving along with the tree. This is due to inertia of rest.

2.inertia of motion:

when a body resists to stop moving then it is called inertia of motion.

ex: before an athlete jumps, he runs a long distance. this helps him jump higher and longer as the body resists to stop moving. This is due to inertia of motion
