Yeah, but colloquially inertia "a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged."

- Manishearth 10y agoLike I said, it depends. Colloquially it is also "inability to slow down". The "inability to speed up" is more common, but it doesn't invalidate the first one.
- StavrosK 10y agoThis is true, but, in a physics context, an object that has velocity keeps that velocity when it remains unchanged (ie, like the GP said, it's literally momentum).
