Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Inertia is best described as
A
the tendency for objects to resist force.
B
the tendency for objects to move.
C
the tendency for objects to resist changes in motion.
D
the tendency for objects to decelerate.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s first law states that an object in motion tends to remain in motion with same speed and direction, or object at rest tends to be at rest, until and unless an external unbalanced force acts on the object. This tendency of an object to resist its initial state of motion is called inertia.

Detailed explanation-2: -First Law/Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has.

Detailed explanation-3: -This tendency to resist changes in their state of motion is described as inertia. Inertia: the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion.

Detailed explanation-4: -An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net force. This property of an object to resist change in motion is called inertia.
