Question

newtons first law of motion states an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
examples of newtons first law of motion:

• a ball rolling down a hill keeps rolling until another force stops it.
• a book is pushed across a desk and it keeps sliding until it reaches the edge or an outside force acts upon it.
• a soccer ball is at rest, and will remain at rest until another force acts on it, like a kick.

choose the correct answer
a bus suddenly stops and the riders jerk forward resisting the change in motion. what is this an example of?
inertia
mass
density

Explanation:

The problem describes riders jerking forward when a bus stops, which is resisting a change in motion. The text defines inertia as the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion, and this scenario aligns with that definition.

Answer:

Inertia
