4. INERTIA makes the moving
object continue to move at a
constant speed in the same
direction unless some external
force changes the object’s motion
If the object is moving….
7. It tends to stay in that position
unless some force puts that
object into motion
If an object is at rest…
8. Inertia is not physical quantity and
thus it does not have units
The property of inertia is found
from the Newton’s first law of
motion
9. Newton’s First Law of Motion
"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and
an object in motion the same speed and
in the same direction tends to stay in
motion with unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force"
