Definition of  Inertia:
 
Inertia is the property of an object which describes its natural tendency to keep on doing whatever it is doing.


 
Inertia is simply the tendency of an object to keep on doing whatever it is doing. It is the natural tendency of an object to stubbornly maintain its state of motion. Inertia is not a push or pull on an object. It is the intrinsic property of an object. A push or pull is not needed for an object to maintain its state of motion. In fact a push or pull upon an object (when unbalanced) would alter an object's state of motion and cause it to change velocity.
