Simple:
Inertia is the characteristic of an object that resists change in motion.
Inertia is quantified as mass. We say a 2 kg object has twice the inertia as a 1 kg object.
More:
We say that Newton's first law is the law of inertia. Basically, Newton's first law asserts that this characteristic exists and is associated with all objects.
(A thousand years ago, people believed in magic and all sorts of things, so an assertion that there is something called inertia and it is a universal characteristic is not so trivial as it might sound now. As a side note, this law of nature was known before Newton, specifically, we know that Galileo had the correct formulation.)
One quantifies this characteristic of inertia with mass. Mass is the thing that tells us how acceleration is proportional to force. We say a 2 kg object has twice the inertia as a 1 kg object. Newton's second law says this works the same for all object and the proportionality is the same for all forces.

What is the property of an object that resists changes in rotational motion?
rotational inertiaMass moment if inertia.
What affect does mass have on the motion of an object?
The greater the mass an object has, the more inertia the object has, so the object resists changes to its motion better. In other words, as mass increases, the acceleration caused by a constant force decreases.
When an object resists on any change in motion?
Inertia
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?
What measure an object tendency to resists change in motion?
inertia
Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?
Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.
What is the effect of friction on a moving object?
It resists the motion (slows it down)
What is the inertia of 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.
The resistance of an object to changes in its motion?
The resistance of an object to changes in its motion is known as inertia. Changes in an objects motion include changes in its speed and direction.
What force resists motion when the surface of one object moves against another?
Friction.
What is the object that tends to resist a chang in motion?
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.
What is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion?
Inertia is the resistance of a object to change in its motion
