What name is given to the property of an object to resist changes in motion?
The name given to the property of an object to resist changes in motion.
Answer to Problem 8A
Inertia
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Galileo stated the concept of inertia. By doing experiments like a ball rolling on a counter top, Galileo studied the how things move.
Galileo stated that every object in motion remains in motion which is natural and it resists any change in its motion. This property to resist change is known as Inertia.
Conclusion:
Inertia is the property of an object to resist change in motion.
