What is the resistance of matter to change in motion?

The resistance of matter to change in motion is known as inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their velocity, either in terms of starting, stopping, or changing direction. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

How does change in thermal energy causes matter to change from one state to another?

An increase in thermal energy may change a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, or a solid to a gas.A decrease in thermal energy may cause a change in the opposite direction - for example, from a liquid to a solid.

Is net force needed to change the speed or direction of moving matter?

Yes, a net force is needed to change the speed or direction of moving matter. Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. When a net force is applied, it can accelerate the object, decelerate it, or change its direction.
