   Of or relating to the property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless that state is changed by an external force.

   Inercial

   • The inertial mass of an object determines its resistance to acceleration.
   • Inertial forces must be considered when designing spacecraft trajectories.
   • The gyroscope relies on inertial principles to maintain orientation.
