Examples/Significance of Inertia in Our Life


   Inertia plays an important concept that explains why objects move as they do. If a stopped car is hit by a moving car from behind, the passengers inside may experience whiplash as a result of the body moving forward but the head lagging behind. The head is experiencing inertia. Another application of inertia can be observe in a sports field. The reason why an athlete runs before taking a long jump is to bring him in the state of motion and makes it easier for him to take a long jump. When you stir coffee and stop, the swirling motion continues due to inertia also.
