Inertia: Understanding and Calculating Inertial Mass

The video tutorial explains inertia and how to calculate it using Newton's second law. It begins with an introduction to inertia and the concept of force needed to accelerate objects. Examples are provided using a car and a lorry to demonstrate force calculations. The tutorial then explains inertial mass and provides example calculations for a plane and a proton. The lecture concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
