    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…

    An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net external force. In simpler terms, this means that objects tend to maintain their state of motion or rest until something acts on them. This law is one of…
