What is Inertia ?
Give the types of inertia.
Answers
Answer:
Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity.
Inertia is the resistance of a body to any change in its velocity.
It is of Three Types:
• Inertia of rest: Tendency of a body to remain in the state of rest.
• Inertia of direction: Tendency of a body to remain in a particular direction.
• Inertia of motion: Tendency of a body to remain in a state of uniform motion.
Answer:the Law of Inertia
Law of inertia, also known as Newton’s first law of motion states that
An object will continue to be in the state of rest or in a state of motion unless an external force acts on it.
Explanation: Types of Inertia
Inertia of Rest
When the resistance is offered by the body to continue in the state of rest unless an external force acts on it.
Inertia of Direction
When the resistance is offered by the body to continue the motion in the same direction unless an external force acts on it.
Inertia of Motion
When the resistance is offered by the body to continue to be in the uniform motion unless an external force acts on it.
