Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia of rest - An object stays where it is placed, and it will stay there until you or something else moves it. ( Dust particles stay at rest until you shake a carpet.)

Inertia of motion - An object will continue at the same speed until a force acts on it. ( Body going forward when a car stops.)

Inertia of direction - An object will stay moving in the same direction unless a force acts on it. ( One's body movement to the side when a car makes a sharp turn.)
