Key Points

Inertia: 

  • An inherent property of all the bodies by virtue of which they cannot change their state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line by their own is called inertia.
  • The natural tendency of an object to resist the change in its state of rest or of state of uniform motion is called Inertia.
  • Inertia is the measure of the mass of a body.
  • Inertia is not a physical quantity, it is only a property of the body which depends on the mass of the body.
  • Inertia has no units and no dimensions.
  • From the above, it is clear that the property of the body which depends on the mass of the body i.e., the mass of an object is a measure of its inertia.
  • Greater is the mass of the body, more is the inertia of that body.
