anonymous · Answer

i dont understand how to imagine how inertia works? :/

anonymous · Answer

Inertia is just the property of any body to resist any change in it's state. The more the inertia, the harder it is change it's state (of rest or motion). For example, you have to exert more force to move a washing machine than to move a coin because it has more 'inertia'. You can imagine it as being EQUIVALENT to mass, really.
