Question

name and define three different types of inertia and give an
example each

Kranav Sharma · Accepted Answer

Three types of inertia are:
1) Inertia of rest: The ability of a body to resist any change
in its state of rest
2) Inertia of motion: The ability of a body to resist any change
in its state of motion
3) Inertia of rotation/direction: The ability of a body to
resist any change in its state of rotation (or direction) is
inertia of rotation
examples -
Inertia of rest: when the bus starts and moves forward we are
pushed backward
Inertia of motion: when a moving bus stops suddenly we fall
forwards
Inertia of direction: when the bus suddenly takes turn we fall
in the direction opposite to it
