Any property of an object that remains unchanged in its original state can be called inertia. This paper uses analogical methods to elucidate the existence of various types of inertia in objects from various aspects such as mechanics, electricity, and thermodynamics. It focuses on the representation of an object's thermal inertia and discusses the factors related to it. And from the perspective of conservation, the symmetry inherent in inertia was explored.

The goal of this paper is to explore a model teaching method of introducing computational thinking into college physics teaching. Taking the teaching of ideal gas molecular speed distribution law as an example: assuming that the velocities of some ideal gas molecules are obtained by random sampling from a thermodynamic equilibrium system, this paper discusses how to analyze and obtain the distribution of molecular speed in the system by numerical calculation, and introduces the definition of speed distribution function. By comparing with Maxwell's speed distribution law, the temperature of the system is fitted with Matlab calculation tool, which is highly consistent with that obtained by the average translational kinetic energy of the ideal gas. It is concluded that the cultivation and training of computational thinking in college physics teaching is of great significance. Similar thinking training can better improve students' ability to deal with physical problems with computers. Some teaching suggestions of the author are put forward.
