Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The tendency of a substance to resist changes in its motion is
A
composition
B
inertia
C
density
D
None of the above
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: -Inertia is the tendency of undisturbed object to remain at rest or in uniform linear motion but then what is resistance to the change of state of motion is that inertia or this inertia?

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

Detailed explanation-4: -law of inertia, also called Newton’s first law, postulate in physics that, 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 constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
