All objects resist a change in motion. That is Newton's first law of motion. It requires only that the object have mass. An object that is not acted on by an external force will continue in it previous state of straight line motion. The property that all object have that resists a change in motion is called inertia. The quantitative measure of the inertia of a body is called its mass. This answer applies to movement through space. There is a similar explanation for rotational motion.
Inertia of motion is the resistance mass has to motion. It also is the resistance in change in momentum. Momentum includes two things: velocity and direction. When an object changes its velocity, the momentum of the object resists the change. Also, when an object does change its velocity, its momentum is directly changed. In general, the inertia of motion is matter's unwillingness to change velocity or momentum.
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
Inertia resists acceleration. Inertia resists a change in the state of motion of a particle or rigid body. For instance, in order for the state of motion of an object to change, there must be a net external force exerting on the object, which is defined as mass times acceleration. Resistance to this net external force would therefore have to resist the object's acceleration, and that is inertia.
It resists the motion (slows it down)
Inertia
inertia
inertia. the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia. what do you call it when an object refuses a object in motion?

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.

The force that resists motion between objects that are in contact is called friction. One object can be stationary or they both can move.
That's called "accelerated motion".
Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.
