what is inertia and why does it happen?
In: Physics
Inertia is the ability of mass to resist a change in its velocity, it means that you have to push stuff in order to get it to move. If you’re in your car and brake suddenly and move forward into your seat belt, that’s inertia. your body is resisting the change in velocity that your car is experiencing. As for why … it’s a fundamental property of mass, it just is. It’s like asking why there’s light.
