Kicking a stone of the same size with equal force as kicking a football can lead to injury because the stone has greater inertia and resists changes in its state of motion more than the football. As a result, the ...

The football flies away when kicked because it has less mass and therefore less inertia compared to the stone. The stone has greater inertia, so it resists changes in its state of motion, causing it to hardly move despite being ...

It is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books because the empty box has less mass and therefore less inertia, making it easier to change its state of motion.

The application of an unbalanced force by the engine to change the direction of motion of the motorcar causes our body to resist the change, leading to us slipping to one side of the seat due to inertia.

This behavior is explained by Newton’s first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
