- whatshisface 7y agoI used the word "inertia" to refer to the various inertia-related things that are used in mechanics. For example, the mass tensor that appears in curvilinear coordinate systems. This class of inertia-related things are usually given a name involving the word mass, and they are not usually Lorentz invariant.
