Question

Newton's First Law of motion addresses a body at rest or in motion. What is inertia's role in Newton's First Law of Motion?
Question 11 options:

A)

It's the tendency for the body to resist a change in motion.

B)

It's associated with the acceleration of the object.

C)

It's the tendency for the body to change motion quickly.

D)

It determines how much mass the object retains.

Answer 1

Inertia plays a crucial role in Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force. Inertia is defined as the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Given this understanding, the correct answer to the question is:

**A) It's the tendency for the body to resist a change in motion.**
