The resistance of a massive body to any change in its velocity. Any body will continue in a state of rest or of uniform straight-line motion unless acted upon by a force. Thus a spacecraft, when its rocket motors are switched off, follows a ballistic trajectory because of its inertia. In Newton's second law of motion, the relationship between acceleration, a, of a body and the applied force, F, i...
