CONCEPT:

We know that Newton First law

  • If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line,
  • This postulate is known as the law of inertia.
  • Even in space objects have mass.
  •  If they have mass, they have inertia
  • ​That is an object in space resists changes in its state of motion.
  • A force must be applied to set a stationary object in motion.
  • It will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

EXPLANATION

  •  Inertia is proportional to mass.
    • Big masses hard to changing their motion as compared to smaller masses.
    • Objects at rest remain at rest unless acted on by a net force and a large net force is required to change its speed or direction.
    • All the objects having mass have inertia.
