Question

Pick the incorrect statement about inertia.
 

  1. Tendency of a body to be at rest
  2. Tendency of a body to be in motion
  3. Tendency of a body to move in one direction
  4. It is measured in Kg
     

hintHint:

The incorrect one is It is measured in Kg

The correct answer is: It is measured in Kg
 


    • Inertia is related to mass but but it is not a physical quantity
    • From this ,It is clear that the property of the body which depends on the mass of the i.e the mass of an object is a measure of its inertia.
    • Inertia has no units and no dimentions.
