Question
the more massive an object...
the lower its tendency to resist a change in motion.
the greater its tendency to go with a change in motion.
the greater its tendency to resist a change in motion.
In physics, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Mass is a measure of inertia. So, the more massive an object is, the greater its inertia, meaning the greater its tendency to resist a change in motion. The first option is wrong because more mass means more resistance (not lower). The second option is wrong as inertia is about resisting change, not "going with" it. The third option correctly relates mass to the tendency to resist motion change.

C. the greater its tendency to resist a change in motion. (Note: Assuming the third option is labeled as C; if the original labels were different, adjust the identifier. But based on the order, the third option is correct.)
