उत्तर
- The inertia of an object tends to resist any change in its state of rest or state of motion.
- When a carpet is beaten with a stick, then the carpet comes into motion. But the dust particles try to resist their state of rest.
- According to Newton’s first law of motion, the dust particles stay in a state of rest while the carpet moves. Hence, the dust particles come out of the carpet.

The figure shows a light spring balance connected to two blocks of mass 20 kg each. The graduations in the balance measure the tension in the spring. (a) What is the reading of the balance? (b) Will the reading change if the balance is heavy, say 2.0 kg? (c) What will happen if the spring is light but the blocks have unequal masses?

A force F1 acts on a particle accelerating it from rest to a velocity v. Force F1 is then replaced by F2 which decelerates the particle to rest.
