Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain still, or remain moving at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by an outside force. Thus the measure of this quality is the mass of an object since acceleration is equal to the force applied to an object multiplied by its mass. The greater the mass, the less acceleration a given force will impart to it. In order to impart greater acceleration to a given mass, greater force is needed.

What is the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion known as?
It is inertia
Does the inertia of an object of an object change as its velocity changes?
No. Intertia is a measure of how easily an object's speed can be changed. So if it takes a certain amount of force or energy to speed an object up to a given speed, it'll take the same force/energy to slow it down to zero again, or it'll take the same energy to double its speed from that given level. Hope that makes sense.
What is the measure of how much an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
Temperature is a measure of what of the particles in an object?
degrees Temperature is a measure of heat in an object.
What does intertia means?
Its like the law motion.
A 5 kg object has less intertia than a . object?
10kg
Does the amount of intertia an object has depends on its mass?
Yes.
What is the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion known as?
It is inertia
What is Galileo's principle of intertia?
an object that is moving will keep moving until something stops it
Intertia is the tendency of any object to maintain what?
Inertia is the tendency that all objects resist a change in motion
How does the affect the speed of an object?
More intertia makes it so more energy is needed in order to change the speed.
What forces changes an object's motion by touching the object?
Kinetic (via transference of intertia), and Strong Nuclear (the actual interaction between atoms), depending on context.
Does the inertia of an object of an object change as its velocity changes?
No. Intertia is a measure of how easily an object's speed can be changed. So if it takes a certain amount of force or energy to speed an object up to a given speed, it'll take the same force/energy to slow it down to zero again, or it'll take the same energy to double its speed from that given level. Hope that makes sense.
Stationary objects are the result of?
0 velocity 0 acceleration The forces on the object are balanced: it is in equilibrium. (The forces are balanced on any object with 0 acceleration, even if it is moving.)
What unit could you use to measure an object?
That depends on what characteristic of the object you want to measure. Length, width, height, area, volume . . . a ruler Mass . . . a pan balance and calibrated set of reference masses Weight . . . a bathroom scale Then there are the object's density, color, texture, specific heat capacity, surface albedo, hardness, transparency, moment of intertia, etc. Each of those would call for a different unit with which to measure it.
What is inertia of rest and inertia of motion?
Intertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity: if an object is at rest, it has the tendency to remain at rest; if it is moving, the tendency is to keep moving with the same velocity. That is what happens if no forces act on the object; if forces act on the object, including gravitation, friction, and others, its velocity will change.
What do you measure you measure an object's temperature?
"What do you measure (when) you measure..." ? When you measure an object's temperature, you are measuring the amount of heat the object emits (gives off). There is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat.
