Question

to overcome an objects inertia, it must be acted upon by _______.
a. gravity
b. energy
c. force
d. acceleration

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. To overcome inertia (change the object's motion), a force must be applied (Newton's laws of motion). Gravity is a specific type of force, energy is not a direct agent of motion change, and acceleration is the result of force, not the cause of overcoming inertia. So the correct answer is C.

Answer:

C. force
