Like when your driving so fast and you hit a pole. Then your body fly's forward (hopefully your wearing a seat belt) and you hit your head on the steering wheel. The movement of your body still going when the cars stop, you still fly forward at the 70mph you were going.. just the car stopped going with you.
this also applies to lets say paint splatters. you move the brush so fast and then stop it before it hits the paper yet the paint still keeps going and splatters across the paper, leaving your brush.

Inertia can be demonstrated like this: A car is driving, the driver takes his foot off of the gas and the car keeps going although there is no force pushing the car. Inertia is what keeps the car going.
There are actually 3 kinds of inertia. They are as follows : 1. Inertia of Rest 2. Inertia of Motion 3. Inertia of Direction But nowadays people consider that there are 2 kinds of inertia , inertia of rest and inertia of motion.
There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.
Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist change in motion.
Inertia is the resistance of motion of an object. The more inertia, the harder it is to move something. The less inertia, the easier it is to move. Take a bowling ball and a marble. The marble can be flicked by the finger, because it has less inertia. The bowling ball takes the entire hand because it has more inertia than the marble. According to Newton's laws, an object that is moving tends to continue in motion. A moving object has inertia as it has Mass and Velocity. An object that is not moving requires a Force exerted on the Mass to start it moving.
