what is inertia?
a. the reaction to an action force
b. a type of kinetic friction
c. the normal force on an incline
d. the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion
Inertia is a fundamental concept in physics. It is the property of an object that resists changes in its state of motion. Newton's first law of motion is related to inertia, stating that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
