If antimatter moves in the direction it was pushed from, is this because it has its own sort of properties such as inertia in regular matter?

Do you have a source for this (i.e. where you have heard it/read it) ?Clever boy said:But then how come antimatter moves toward the force that pushes it
Antimatter is a type of matter that is composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as regular particles but opposite charge. This means that when an antiparticle comes into contact with a regular particle, they annihilate each other and release a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. This is the main difference between antimatter and regular matter.
Yes, antimatter has its own set of physical and chemical properties, just like regular matter. However, due to its nature of annihilating regular matter, it is difficult to study and observe these properties in detail.
Antimatter can be created through high-energy collisions, such as those that occur in particle accelerators. It can also be found in small amounts in nature, such as in cosmic rays. However, it cannot be destroyed in the traditional sense, as it simply converts into energy when it comes into contact with regular matter.
Antimatter has a lot of potential applications in technology, such as in medical imaging and cancer treatment. It can also be used as a highly efficient source of energy, although the technology to produce and store it safely is still in its early stages of development.
While antimatter is rare in our observable universe, it is believed that there may be regions of the universe where antimatter dominates. However, it is still a mystery as to why our universe seems to be mostly composed of regular matter.
