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.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

C. force
