Inertia can best be described as a. the force which keeps moving objects moving and stationary objects at rest. b. the willingness of an object to eventually lose its motion c. the force which causes all objects to stop d. the tendency of any object to resist change and keep doing whatever its doing Mass and velocity values for a variety of objects are listed below. Rank the objects from smallest to greatest inertia. Object A: v = 2 m/s m = 10 kg Object B: v = 0 m/s m = 20 kg Object C: v = 4 m/s m = 5 kg Object D: v = 3 m/s m = 8 kg
