Question

Choose the correct option regarding inertia.

• A. It is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of rest or uniform motion.
• B. It is confined only to moving objects.
• C. It depends on the speed of the object.
• D. It is confined only to objects at rest.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of rest or uniform motion.

The inertia of an object is defined as the tendency or the nature of the object to oppose a change in its state of rest, or uniform motion. An object's inertia always solely depends on its mass. Objects with more mass have more inertia.
