Inertia

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Nikki. She loved playing with her toys and running around in the park.

One day, she was playing with her toy car when she suddenly stopped it. She noticed that the car didn’t want to move anymore. She tried pushing it but it was hard to make it move again. She asked her father to explain why was it happening.

Nikki’s father explained to her that the car didn’t want to move because of something called “inertia”.

Inertia is when an object doesn’t want to change its motion. So if an object is moving, it wants to keep moving. And if an object is still, it wants to stay still.

Nikki’s father told her that this is why it’s important to wear seat belts in the car. When the car stops suddenly, our bodies want to keep moving forward because of inertia. But the seat belt helps us stay in place and not get hurt.

Nikki was happy to learn the concept of inertia. She also promised her father that she will always fasten her seat belt while travelling in any vehicle.
