An object’s resistance in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object is ____
A
gravity
B
acceleration
C
comet
D
inertia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion. Inertia causes a moving object to stay in motion at the same velocity (speed and direction) unless a force acts on it to change its speed or direction. It also causes an object at rest to stay at rest.

Detailed explanation-2: -This force is called friction. Generally, friction is an external force that acts opposite to the direction of relative motion or to prevent slipping. We further identify different types of friction.

Detailed explanation-3: -inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

Detailed explanation-4: -The force of inertia is the property common to all bodies that remain in their state, either at rest or in motion, unless some external cause is introduced to make them alter this state. Bodies do not display this force except when one alters their state; at which point it is called resistance or action.

Detailed explanation-5: -Newton’s First Law: Inertia Newton’s first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.
