The video tutorial explains the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. It is closely related to Newton's first law of motion, also known as the Law of Inertia. The tutorial further explores how different objects have varying inertia based on their mass, with heavier objects having more inertia. The relationship between mass and inertia is highlighted, demonstrating that mass is a measure of an object's inertia. The video promises to delve deeper into this relationship with examples in the next part.
