Excerpt from College Physics for Students in Higher Academies and Colleges, Vol. 1: Mechanics, Sound and LightInertia is the resistance which matter offers to any change in its condition of rest or motion. Matter is. Powerless of itself either to move or to stop moving if once set in motion, moreover it resists any attempt to move it if at rest, or to stop it if in motion.Illustrations of inertia are seen in the hammering of the water in a. Water pipe on suddenly closing the faucet, in the action of the hydraulic ram, or of the ¿y wheel of an engine. Familiar examples are also found in the stamping of snow from the feet, in the beating of dust from a carpet, in the motion of a bicycle rider when his wheel strikes a stone, or in the case of a person who steps from a rapidly moving car while facing to the rear. More remarkable. Illustrations of inertia. Are seen in the action of dynamite when exploded upon the surface of a rock - the inertia. Of the air being sufficient to cause the rock to be pulverized, by the sudden pressure in the method of supplying locomotives with water while running at full speed, and in milling machinery in which rapidly revolving steel bars beat the grain to powder.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
