AnswerClick to flip back
A
inertia
💡 Explanation:
Inertia is the property of matter that causes a moving body to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly proportional to mass - larger objects have more inertia. Velocity, acceleration, and displacement describe motion but don't explain resistance to change.
