What is inertia?

a)

Inertia is an object’s resistance to change in motion.

b)

Inertia is anything that makes a moving object slow down or stop.

2.

What will happen to an object if it is put into motion in space?

It will speed up over time.

d)

It will slow down over time.

wants to stop moving

5.

You push a sofa, but you can’t get it to move by yourself. Why?

a)

You have more inertia than the sofa.
