Inertness; indisposition to motion, exertion, or action; want of energy; sluggishness
Inertia is the tendency of a physical object to remain still or to continue moving, unless a force is applied to it. Inherent property of a body that makes it oppose any force that would cause a change in its motion. A body at rest and a body in motion both oppose forces that might cause acceleration. The inertia of a body can be measured by its mass, which governs its resistance to the action of a force, or by its moment of inertia about a specified axis, which measures its resistance to the action of a torque about the same axis
measurement of an object's ability to resist a change in velocity, this property is dependent upon the mass and shape of the object
If you have a feeling of inertia, you feel very lazy and unwilling to move or be active. her inertia, her lack of energy = lethargy
n the tendency of an object to resist change, either in speeding up or slowing down
Tendency of a body to resist acceleration The tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in motion to remain in motion in a straight line unless disturbed by an external force Inertia is resistance to motion, action, or change Inertia is measured by mass
Inertia is the tendency to remain in a fixed condition without change For example, resistance to change
the property of an object describing its tendency to stay at the same velocity (or at rest) unless a force acts on it
The measure of a bodys resistance to acceleration or deceleration Typically used in reference to the inertia of the load to be moved by a motor or the inertia of a motors rotor
The tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion, unless pushed or pulled by an unbalanced force
a property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force
the tendency of matter to move uniformly (at a constant velocity; in a straight line at a constant speed)
{i} inertness, inactivity, immobility; tendency of matter to remain at rest or continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force (Physics)
the tendency of a pattern to continue; more specifically, the tendency for a line to continue in the same direction
That property of matter by which it tends when at rest to remain so, and when in motion to continue in motion, and in the same straight line or direction, unless acted on by some external force; sometimes called vis inertiæ
The property of an object to resist acceleration As one of the most basic concepts of physics, it is still poorly understood It is believed to be a property of bodies primarily due to their interaction with masses at the edges of the Universe Momentum (mass times velocity) is a measure of inertia and changes in momentum, which must be due to a force, permit a measure of inertial mass
A function of the mass and shape of an object The inertia represents the property of an object that resists a change in motion An objects inertia increases directly with an increase in the objects mass; also, increasing inertia loads require more force to accelerate and decelerate them
