Summary Physics
What is iner t ia? I NERTI A
Well, t o easily under st and, iner t ia is
'laziness' lit er ally, such an object wont
change it s st at e of mot ion unless for ced.
How does mass r elat e t o
iner t ia?
Easy, t he mor e t he mass t he mor e
t he object 's iner t ia and vice ver sa.

DEFINITION

W ays of reducing the
negative effect of inertia
In a car :
- wear seatbelt
- Airbag system
In Lor r ies:
- Strong str ucture between
cabins
- subdivide mass of load to
reduce iner tia
