Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in its motion or state of rest. Examples of inertia in daily life include water droplets continuing to spin off a stopped umbrella due to their inertia, and a hammer head continuing its downward motion after being hit to slot further into its handle when the handle stops moving. Inertia causes objects to maintain their current motion or rest unless acted upon by an external force.

6.  A wet umbrella is
rotated vigorously
and then stops
abruptly. Droplets of
water on the
umbrella are spun
off because its
inertia causes them
to continue moving
even when the
umbrella has
stopped spinning.

7.  The head of a hammer
can be slotted into the
hammer by knocking
the bottom of the
handle downwards on a
hard surface. The
hammer head will
continue with its
downward motion after
the handle has come to
a stop. This makes the
upper part of the
wooden handle slot
deeper into the hammer
head.
