Inertia
Introduction Inertia is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. This inherent property of matter is central to Newton’s First Law of Motion and forms the basis of classical mechanics. Newton’s First Law and Inertia Newton’s First Law of Motion, also known…

Chapter 23: Inertia and Angular Momentum
23.1 Introduction to Rotational Motion In this chapter, we will explore inertia and angular momentum, two fundamental concepts in rotational motion. These concepts are essential for understanding how objects rotate, conserve angular momentum, and how external forces can change an object’s rotational motion. 23.2 Inertia Inertia is the inherent property of an object that resists…
