Newton proposed the concept of inertia. According to him, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is the principle of inertia. The tendency of the body to resist a change in motion is called its inertia. You can demonstrate this principle with a simple experiment.
