Question

The property of an object that resists change in its state of motion

Answer 1

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. ... Thus, inertia could be redefined as follows: Inertia: tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The property that resists change in state of motion is Inertia.

Explanation:

• Tendency of any object to remain unchanged is called Inertia.

• It is defined as the property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

• Newton's first law of motion introduces the concept of inertia.
• According to first law of motion:

       "If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force".
