What else can I help you with?
What is related to how much force is needed to change an objects motion?
The concept related to the amount of force needed to change an object's motion is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. Objects with more mass have greater inertia and require more force to change their motion.
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.
What property of matter is inertia related?
i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....
A force that acts against moving objects is called what?
Inertia Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton\'s_laws_of_motion -------------- May I suggest friction as a better answer. Inertia is the tendency for an object in motion to stay in motion, and it is not a force.
What is a force that causes an object to change its motion?
I think this question is not phrased very well. Any force can change objects velocity (speed+direction). If fact that is the definition of the force - F=ma any force, by definition itself, can change objects velocity. Maybe you meant what force can change objects direction of motion? In that case - any force that has a different direction (not the same as direction of motion) Any force can change an object's motion.

Inertia is a force?
Put simply, inertia is the measure of an object's reluctance to change its state of motion. The object's state of motion may be stationary or flying through space at 20,000 km/hr. The unit for measuring inertia in the SI is the same as for mass: the Kilogram. Inertia (mass) can be expected to increase when an object is traveling at relativistic (near the speed of light) speeds.Supervisor's note: The following answer is looking for a clear-headed makeover.Inertia is NOT a force because Inertia just is the resistance to change in motion. An object's inertia never changes.Here is something to think about so you can answer the question yourself...If you slide a pencil on the floor away from any object that could block it the pencil still stops. Do you think it is because gravity or inertia did it? No. The thing is inertia is just like the Law of conservation. All objects,energy, etc. follow it but inertia is not A FORCE that stops a car when it hits a wall. It is an outside force like friction which is what stoped the pencil from countinuing to slide on the ground. An object's inertia can change but not it's amount, because there is no amount of inertia because like i said before inertia is like a law, all objects have inertia (meaning they all follow the rule of inertia) If there were no other outside force like gravity and friction then when we could not accelarate and there would be no inertia. I know this paragraph makes no sence but to me this is how i look at inertia. As a law or property of matter and not a force. One last thing to think about. Does inertia change anything... if so write a disscusion and tell me what you think it changes and if a car crashes DID INERTIA CAUSE THAT...

What does inertia apply to?
Inertia is a fundamental property of all objects having mass. Mass resists the change in motion. Inertia applies to both the states of a body i.e., body at rest and at motion. Inertia is applicable to all objects in everyday life. For example " your body will continue to move forward because of inertia, when suddenly brake are applied during driving" Inertia is generally given by Newton's first law of motion, which is also called as "the law of inertia". This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. The more massive an object is, the greater will be its inertia, meaning that s it will require more force to change its state of motion.

What is the tendecy of an object to resist any change in motion?
Weight

What is the force that resists changes?
I don't think there is such a force. Your question might refer to "inertia", but of course, inertia is not a force - it is more closely related to mass.
Why do people think force is needed to move an object?
People might think force is needed to move an object because force is required to overcome inertia, the natural tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Force is necessary to accelerate or decelerate an object, change its direction, or counteract other forces acting upon it.
Does mass affect inertia?
inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.
What keeps objects attracted to each other?
i think its the centripetal force [force of attraction]
