Objects at rest remain at rest, objects in motion remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

What is Inertia?
Inertia is a property of matter, by which a mass resists changes to it's motion
15
What does Inertia depend upon?
Only on MASS
15
What does inertia NOT dependent upon?
SPEED

Why Shouldn't you stand in a bus while its moving?
1) When-the bus breaks, your lower body stops motions while your upper body is still in the state of motion,so you can fall.

Why does a child "fall back" when you yank the wagon forward?
1)When the wagon child's lower body starts moving as his leg is in contact with the wagon.
2) The child's upper body is still at rest, so it falls back.

What is Force? Is it a Scalar or Vector Quantity?
It is A push or a pull applied to an object . It is a Vector quantity
15
What are Balanced forces? When is an object said to be at Equilibrium?
Net force=0,
Objects may either be
1.) At rest,
2.) Having constant velocity

What is Mass vs. Weight?Also mention their SI Units.
Mass: The amount of matter something is made of. SI Units: kg,
Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Unit= Newton

What is friction?,
1) It is a contact force between 2 surfaces .
2) It resists motion
