What is the tendency to resist changes in motion?

This is newton's second law. An object in motion will stay in motion unless another force acts on it. Answer2: Inertia. Newton's 1st law states no force , no change or no change no force.


What is the overall force on an object to resist change in its motion is called?

inertia


What is the force that acts to resist motion between two surfaces?

Friction


The tendancy of an object to resist change in its motion is called?

The name for this tendency is inertia. (Inertia is basically a another name for mass i.e. an object with mass will resist motion)


Ner force on an object to resist any change in motion?

No change in motion (speed or direction) means no acceleration.No acceleration means zero net force.


The name of the force that slows any moving object?

During motion, the force of friction acts to resist further movement of objects. Such objects are always in contact with others or through air.


What is a force that resist the motion relative to each other for objects that are touching?

gravitational


The mass of an object makes it resist a force that tries to change its motion what is this resistance called?

Inertia.


Which property of objects causes them to resist changes to their motion?

Inertia is an objects ability to resist motion. I think of inertia as an object's' mass (different from weight). Newton's second law (F = mass times acceleration) describes the interaction between force and an objects ability to resist motion.


A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?

The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".


Will friction resist in motion with rough surfaces?

Yes, friction is the force of resistance against motion between two surfaces. The rougher a surface is the higher its friction coefficient.


Why does friction resist motion?

A friction is a force that acts in the opposite direction of a moving body. It acts at the meeting of two different surfaces. So friction always resists motion.
