Página 9 - The principle of inertia is an abstract principle which must be considered as applicable to a single isolated particle. It may be enounced in the following terms: — An isolated 'material point cannot change its state, whether of rest or motion. That is to say, if it be at rest it will remain at rest; if it be in motion it will continue to move in the same direction and with the same velocity.
