Different Types Of Inertia

Topics -

• All the Different Types Of Inertia :-

• Inertia due to Motion

• Inertia due to Rest
• Inertia due to Direction
- Inertia,
What is Inertia?
• Inertia – The natural tendency of an object to resist a change in a
state of motion or of rest.
• Depends on the mass of the body.
• Greater the mass greater the inertia.
• They are of 3 types :-
- Inertia due to Rest
- Inertia due to Motion
- Inertia due to Direction
> Inertia of Motion

- The inertia of motion is the

tendency of a body to resist
change in motion when the
object is in motion. The body
will have a tendency to move
in the same direction with the
same speed when acted upon
by an external force.
- It is related to mass.
- For example :-
- when a bus stops suddenly,
the passenger tends to bend in
the forward direction.
> Inertia of Rest
- The inertia of Rest is the
inability of a body to
change by itself its state of
rest is called inertia of rest.
- For Example:-
- A person sitting in a car
falls backwards when
the car starts. As the
lower portion of the car
comes in motion where
as the upper part tries to
remain at rest because of
inertia of rest.
>Inertia of Direction
- Inertia of direction can be
defined as the inability of any
physical object to change its
direction of motion by itself.
- For example :-
- When a car moves along a
round curve, the passengers
sitting inside are thrown
outwards. It happens due to
the inertia of direction in
order to maintain the
direction of motion.
