What does inertia do?

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change it state of rest or motion. when you are standing in a moving bus and it suddenly stops you tend to fall backward. This is due to inertia of motion. Body resists the change in motion due to which u fall backward. so inertia exactly opposes or resists your change in motion.


What is it when an object resists any change in motion?

inertia. the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia. what do you call it when an object refuses a object in motion?


How does force affect the motion of an object?

If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.


A force is needed to change the motion of an object?

Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.


What is the property of body that resists any change in velocity?

The reluctance of a body to change its state of motion is termed inertia. The mass associated with this property is called its inertial mass, notably different from gravitational mass, which is responsible for objects with mass experiencing an attractive force between them. The inertial rest mass of an object is what gives it momentum.
