The first Newton.
Inertia measures an object's tendency to resist change in its motion.
The tendency of an object to resist change in its motion is known as inertia.
inertia
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is known as inertia.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
If you mean "...to resist change in motion", that is called inertia.
The ability of an object to resist a change in its motion is called inertia. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia and the more force that is required to accelerate or decelerate it.
inertia
The tendency of objects to resist change in motion is called inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.
The tendency for an object to resist change once it is in motion is called inertia. This property is described by Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is known as inertia. This means that an object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
The name for this tendency is inertia. (Inertia is basically a another name for mass i.e. an object with mass will resist motion)
