INERTIA

Inertia is the virtue of a body due to which it tries to retain its state. Inertia is of three types:

a.) Inertia of rest  If a body is in rest, then it will remain in rest until an external force is applied on it.

b.) Inertia of Motion   If a body is in motion, then it will remain in motion until an external force is applied on it.

c.) Inertia of Direction  The tendency of a body to change by itself its direction of motion is called inertia of direction.
