A body at rest oppose the forces which try to move it. What is this property called? Give at least one example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This property is called inertia of rest. For example, when a bus starts suddenly, the passenger has a tendency to fall backwards. This is because lower portion of his body moves with the bus and upper part of his body tends to remain at rest.

A body at rest continues to be at rest underless some external force force is applied to move it. Rather, the body at rest opposes the force that tends to move it. Left to itself, the body at rest, will never start moving. This is well known property of inertia of rest of bodies, we study in Physics. ltRead carefully the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) When a bus start moving suddenly, the passengers tend to fall backward. Why? (ii) Give one more example of inertia of rest. (iii) What values do you inculcate in life from this study?
