Inertia is the property of movement (properly velocity).

Inertia is most commonly referenced in connection to Newton's laws of motion, in that an object in motion stays in motion. This (normally, anyway) isn't true in everyday life, as forces like friction, gravity, et cetera, fight back causing velocity to be converted to heat. Objects to which this doesn't apply, like space probes, keep moving forever.

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that
