Question

explain law of inertia with illustrations

Answer 1

Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Inertia comes from mass. Objects with more mass have more inertia.

To understand inertia, imagine moving a bowling ball and a golf ball that are at rest. The golf ball has a mass of 0.05 kilogram, and the bowling ball has a mass of five kilograms. The bowling ball has 100 times more mass than the golf ball, so it has 100 times more inertia, too.

is the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion.
