The document discusses the concept of inertia, which is an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion. It defines inertia as the laziness of an object to remain at rest or in motion. Larger masses have higher inertia and are harder to start moving, while smaller masses have less inertia and are easier to start moving. Newton's first law of motion, also called the law of inertia, states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
