Correct option is B
Correct Answer: B) Object's resistance to change its state of motion - Inertia
Explanation:
An object's resistance to change its state of motion (whether at rest or in uniform motion) is known as inertia. This property is inherent in all matter due to its mass. The concept of inertia is fundamental to Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
Information Booster:
● Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object—the greater the mass, the higher the inertia.
● Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called the Law of Inertia.
● Gravitation impacts all objects with mass, pulling them towards the Earth or other celestial bodies.
● Momentum is a vector quantity and depends on both mass and velocity.
● Acceleration is a result of applied force, as per Newton’s Second Law.
- Gravitation : Refers to the force of attraction between two masses and is unrelated to an object's resistance to motion.
- Momentum : Refers to the quantity of motion an object possesses, calculated as the product of its mass and velocity, not its resistance to motion.
- Acceleration : Refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object, not its resistance to motion.
