Q: The tendency of stationary objects to remains at rest or in motion at the constant velocity is called -
  • A. force
  • B. inertia
  • C. momentum
  • D. energy
Correct Answer: Option B - According to Newton First Law of Motion, a body by itself is not able to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. This property of a body is called inertia That is why the Newton first law of motion is also called Law of Inertia The Law of Inertia was formulated by Galileo. The inertia of an object is the measurement of its mass.
