Question
A person kicks a ball, and the ball changes its direction. This is the inertia of direction.
This statement is
- True
- False
Hint:
The inability of a body to change by itself its direction of motion is called Inertia of direction.
The correct answer is 'False'.
This statement is correct
The inability of a body to change by itself its direction of motion is called Inertia of direction.
A soccer ball will remain resting on the grass until a force acts on it (a kick). Once it is kicked, the soccer ball's inertia will keep it going because the ball RESISTS changing its motion.
