Describe the term inertia?
Inertia is the willingness of an object to remain at rest or to continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
describe the term acceleration?
the rate of change of the speed and or velocity of matter with time.

. if our ship is moving at 10 knots is moving at 18 knots one hour from now and 21 knots 2 hours from now it si said to be accelerationg at a rate of 3 knots per hour.
