MaxineRene Descartes did not add anything to the Law of Inertia as it was first formulated by Sir Isaac newton. Descartes did contribute to the development of modern physics and the concept of inertia through his writings on the nature of motion and the conservation of momentum. However, his ideas differed from Newton's formulation.

Can you add moments of inertia?
The moment of inertia of an object is a measure of its resistance to rotation. It is calculated based on the distribution of mass around an axis of rotation and is often represented by the symbol I. The formula for the moment of inertia depends on the shape and size of the object.
What caused objects to change velocity?
A force, or several forces that don't add up to zero, acting on the object.
When to add psia to boyles law?
You would add "psia" (pounds per square inch absolute) to Boyle's Law when you are dealing with pressure measurements that are already in absolute pressure units, such as when working with a sealed container or a vacuum system. Boyle's Law describes the relationship between pressure and volume when temperature is held constant.
When is a body said to be at rest?
'An object said to be at rest when it is not in motion'.The above statement has been proved by Newton's First Law of Motion (Law Of Inertia) , it says When a body is at rest it tends to be at rest and when a body is inmotion it tends to be in motion until an external force is applied on it.
If two children with masses of 16 kg and 23 kg sit in seats opposite one another what is the moment of inertia about the rotation axis?
The moment of inertia of the system would depend on the distance between the two children and the rotation axis. It can be calculated using the formula for moment of inertia of point masses (I = mr^2) by considering the children as point masses and summing up their individual contributions.
