Intertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity: if an object is at rest, it has the tendency to remain at rest; if it is moving, the tendency is to keep moving with the same velocity. That is what happens if no forces act on the object; if forces act on the object, including gravitation, friction, and others, its velocity will change.

If the bus brakes and you fall Is this inertia of rest or motion?
Inertia of Motion
What are the kinds of inertia?
There are actually 3 kinds of inertia. They are as follows : 1. Inertia of Rest 2. Inertia of Motion 3. Inertia of Direction But nowadays people consider that there are 2 kinds of inertia , inertia of rest and inertia of motion.
How are inertia and motion related?
Inertia is an object's resistance to change it's state of motion or rest. Motion or rest depends on the observer's frame of reference.
What is an enteria?
First of all, it's inertia. Inertia is the tendency of matter to resist a change in motion, hence, an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion. The bigger an object is, the more inertia it has.
What is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or motion?
Inertia. Also described in Newton's First law of Motion.
How do you describe inertia?
the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest and of a body in motion to remain in motion
What is the answer of inertia?
Inertia is the tendancy of an object to stay in rest or in motion. Newtons 1st law was the law of inertia.
What is the definition of interia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object that is at rest to stay at rest or an object that is in motion to continue that motion.
An object at rest tends to stay in rest an object in motion tends to stay in motion?
Because of inertia
What term is defined as the ability of an object at rest to stay at rest and an object in motion to stay in motion?
inertia
State of rest or motion in a straight line?
inertia
What is the tendency of an objection to stay in motion or at rest?
Inertia
