Questions and Answers

Inertia is best described as:

  • A force that acts on the body to oppose movement
  • An external factor that keeps a body in motion
  • A force that comes from the body's interaction with its environment
  • An intrinsic property of a body to resist changes in its motion (correct)
  • Friction is different from inertia because:

  • Inertia is a force that opposes movement, while friction is an external factor
  • Friction is always in favor of movement, whereas inertia is not
  • Friction is a force acting on the body, while inertia is an intrinsic property of the body (correct)
  • Friction comes from within the body, while inertia acts on the body
  • What happens in the absence of friction or other forces?

  • Friction allows an object to remain in motion forever
  • Inertia causes the object to come to rest
  • Inertia allows an object to remain in motion forever (correct)
  • The object's speed increases indefinitely
