What is the measure of the inertia of matter?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a motion
- b rest
- c mass
- d force
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c mass
Inertia grows as mass grows, so the mass of a body is the measure of its inertia.
Why the other options are wrong
- a motion: Motion describes a state of the body; it is not what measures inertia.
- b rest: Rest is just a state; it is the mass that grows with inertia, not the rest.
- d force: Force is needed to overcome inertia; it does not measure inertia.
