The inertia of an object tends to cause the object to-

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Resist any change in its state of motion.
· Inertia is a property of matter that causes an object to resist changes in its motion, whether that means staying at rest or continuing to move at a constant velocity.
· This concept is described by Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, which states that an object will remain in its current state of motion (either at rest or in uniform motion) unless acted upon by an external force.
· The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia, meaning heavier objects require more force to change their state of motion compared to lighter objects.
Information Booster:
· Newton’s First Law: Often summarized as, “An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force.”
· Inertia and Mass: The mass of an object is a direct measure of its inertia; more massive objects have greater inertia.
· Inertia in Everyday Life: When a car suddenly stops, passengers lurch forward due to inertia, as their bodies resist the change in motion.
· Types of Inertia: Inertia of rest (tendency to stay at rest), inertia of motion (tendency to continue moving), and inertia of direction (tendency to maintain direction).
