In shot put, inertia is demonstrated when the shot put remains at rest until a force (throwing motion) is applied to it. Once the shot put is in motion, it will continue moving in a straight line until acted upon by an external force, such as air resistance or gravity. This showcases the concept of inertia as described by Newton's first law of motion.

What unit of measurement is used to measure a shot put?
The shot put is measured in meters or feet and inches. The distance the shot put is thrown is measured from the inside of the circle to the nearest mark left by the shot closest to the circle.
Do you use aerobic or anaerobic respiration in shot put?
yes
What is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or motion?
Inertia. Also described in Newton's First law of Motion.
How is inertia related to matter?
Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in motion. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. Inertia is what keeps objects at rest and in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
What force will not effect inertia if its force is zero?
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.
