Inertia Mass time

What is Inertia? Inertia is a property of object through which it resists any change in its state. The  inability of a body to  change its state of rest or of uniform  motion by itself is called inertia. Newtons first law is more concerned with inertia and hence it is called as Law of inertia. What is mass? Mass is simply a measure of inertia. That means heavier bodies can resist forces (that are trying to deform its state) easily than a lighter body. The total number of atoms in an object determines the mass of the object. In SI unit mass is referred in Kg. Mass is a scalar. What is time? Time is a measure of duration between successive events occurring. In SI  system  of units time is measured in Seconds. Its a scalar.
