    Inertia
In summary, active inertia is the resistance of objects to change in their state of motion, while passive inertia is the tendency for objects to remain in their current state unless acted upon by an external force. Examples of active inertia include a heavy object being difficult to push and a spinning top staying upright, while examples of passive inertia include a book remaining on a table and a car continuing to move forward after the driver takes their foot off the gas pedal. Understanding these concepts is crucial in scientific research as it helps predict and explain the behavior of objects, design experiments, and improve various systems and machines.

The passive inertia is caused by the passive motion of time-space.

The active inertia is caused by the active motion of time-space in spherical time-space.

The passive inertia is determined by mass. But, the active inertia is decided by the curvature of time-space and speed of time-space motion.

For example, the variable of the reaction in the Newton's law is determined by the active inertia.

What is active inertia?

Active inertia is the tendency for objects to resist a change in their state of motion, whether it is at rest or in motion. This means that if an object is not moving, it will resist being put into motion, and if an object is moving, it will resist being stopped or changing direction.

What is passive inertia?

Passive inertia is the tendency for objects to remain in their current state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. This means that if an object is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if an object is in motion, it will continue moving in the same direction and at the same speed unless something else affects it.

What are some examples of active inertia?

Some examples of active inertia include a heavy object being difficult to push, a moving car taking a longer time to come to a complete stop, and a spinning top staying upright due to its rotational momentum.

What are some examples of passive inertia?

Some examples of passive inertia include a book remaining on a table unless someone picks it up, a ball rolling downhill due to gravity, and a car continuing to move forward after the driver takes their foot off the gas pedal.

How does understanding active and passive inertia help in scientific research?

Understanding active and passive inertia is important for scientists as it helps them predict and explain the behavior of objects in different situations. It also allows them to design experiments and conduct research that takes into account these principles, leading to more accurate and reliable results. Additionally, understanding inertia is crucial in fields such as physics and engineering, where it is used to design and improve various systems and machines.
