    Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion, and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change. from Wikipedia

    So they’re kind of just saying that once it picks up enough rotational speed.

      Thank you! I appreciate it. I had a hunch they were sloppy with the term “inertia”, and this confirms it for me, assuming I’m understanding it correctly.
