Question #1 Report Error
The property of a body to resist change in its state of motion is called
A. Force
B. Weight
C. Inertia
D. Momentum

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Heavier object harder to accelerate/decelerate. Newton's first law defines inertia. Momentum is mass × velocity, depends on motion.

Question #2 Report Error
Newton's first law defines:
A. Acceleration
B. Inertia
C. Force
D. Momentum

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Newton's first law (law of inertia) states bodies remain at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by external force. This defines inertia - resistance to change in motion state. Force is defined in second law; momentum conservation in third. Memory aid: 'First law = inertia; second = F=ma; third = action-reaction'. Fundamental concept frequently tested to assess basic mechanics understanding.
