Question
to overcome an objects inertia, it must be acted upon by a. gravity b. energy c. force d. acceleration please select the best answer from the choices provided.
Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion. According to Newton's first - law, a force is required to change an object's motion and thus overcome its inertia. Gravity is a type of force but not the only one to overcome inertia. Energy is a property of a system and not a direct entity to overcome inertia. Acceleration is the result of a force acting on an object, not what directly overcomes inertia.
