Inertia is directly related to the mass of an object. Using this concept, which of the following objects has the greatest inertia given their respective masses?

13.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to (a)   changes in its state of motion.

14.

Inertia is dependent on (a)   .

15.

The greater the mass an object has, the greater its (a)   .

16.

Galileo Galilei performed his inclined plane experiments and concluded that (a)   is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion.

17.

Isaac Newton developed his concept of inertia from Galileo’s idea about (a)   .

18.

The First Law of Motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced (a)   .

19.

Newton agreed that a force is not needed to keep an object in motion. However, there is (a)   (or any other force) acting on an object in a horizontal motion.

20.

Isaac Newton developed his concept of (a)   from Galileo’s idea about motion.
