The video introduces the concept of inertia, explaining it as a property of objects to resist changes in their state of motion or rest. It discusses Newton's Law of Motion, which describes inertia, and categorizes it into three types: inertia of rest, direction, and motion. The video provides relatable examples, such as the experience of riding a bus, to illustrate these concepts. It concludes with trivia about Newton's contributions to science.
