Question
learning: newtons first law of motion - inertia
question
inertia is ______.
answer
- an objects acceleration
- a change in an objects motion
- the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion
- a force
- i dont know yet
Inertia is defined by Newton's First Law as the inherent property of an object that makes it resist any change to its state of motion, whether it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity. The other options are incorrect: acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, a change in motion is the result of an external force acting on an object, and inertia is not a force itself.
