what is inertia and why does it happen?
In: Physics
Inertia is the idea that things will continue doing what they are already doing. This is typically applied to movement, as objects continue moving once pushed, unless pushed again, however the concept is applied to other things such as temperature. As of right now, scientists consider inertia (in the sense of movement) to be an intrinsic property of nature, however it is very possible that we will discover that inertia is caused by some other physical effect in the future.
