What is inertia?

The inertia is a property that keeps an object at its state.


When an external force acts an object, the property of inertia makes the object move in the direction of the force and not anywhere else.


A moving obect does not stop if no force acts on it. This is due to inertia.


The higher the velocity of an object, you need bigger force to stop it. So, the property of inertia has to do something with the velocity.


The higher the mass of an object, we need higher force to dicontinue its state of rest. So inertial is very well related with the mass of an object.


The qickness of displacement necessitates higher force to dicontinue the state of the object is also due to the inertia. So time and inertia is inter related.


Inertia , force, mass, velocity  and momentum, direction,distance, displacement and  time are all the elements interrelated.
