An object (even if it is not living) will resist a change in its state, either resting or in motion, this is called inertia.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law states that "Every body perseveres in its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion unless it is forced to change its state by forces printed on it." This means that for a body to leave its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion, it is necessary for a force to act on it. For this reason Newton's First Law is known as the Law of Inertia. Inertia is the resistance that an object has to a change in its state of motion.

In other words, inertia is the ability of matter to maintain its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion as long as there is no force acting on it. The inertia can be separated into several groups or types of inertia.  For example:

Finally, an object (even if it is not living) will resist a change in its state, either resting or in motion, this is called inertia.
