INERTIA
- is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
- the principle of inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics which are used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces.
- inertia comes from the Latin word, “iners”, meaning idle, or lazy.

Forces Don't Keep Objects Moving
Isaac Newton built on Galileo's thoughts about motion. Newton's first law of motion declares that a force is not needed to keep an object in motion.
