is given credit for developing the concept of inertia using experiments with inclined . Inertia is defined as the tendency of any object which is made out of to resist in motion. Mass is defined as the of matter an object contains, and it is defined as a measure of . We don't really understand what is, and according to Richard Feynman, knowing the name of something is not the same thing as it. If total outside force acts on an object, that object will stay at if it is already at rest or it will move at a constant speed in a line if it is already moving. Objects which are moving on the earth do not keep moving forever because acts on virtually all objects which are moving on the surface of the earth. An object with a mass will resist changes in motion a lot. An object with a mass will resist changes in motion very little.
