Question

according to newtons first law of motion, which animal would have greater inertia if both were running at the same speed and had to stop immediately? a small sized elephant a large sized elephant

Explanation:

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. According to Newton's first law, the mass of an object is directly related to its inertia. A larger - sized elephant has more mass than a small - sized elephant. When both are running at the same speed and need to stop immediately, the object with more mass (the larger - sized elephant) will have a greater tendency to continue moving (greater inertia) because it is more resistant to the change in its state of motion (from moving to stopping).

Answer:

B. large sized elephant
