Object's resistance to change its state of motionтАФGravitation
Object's resistance to change its state of motionтАФInertia
Object's resistance to change its state of motionтАФMomentum
Object's resistance to change its state of motionтАФAcceleration
Object's resistance to change its state of motionтАФInertia
Inertia is the fundamental property of matter by which an object resists any change in its state of rest or uniform motion. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object will maintain its state unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.

When a bus suddenly starts, passengers feel a backward jerk because their lower body moves with the bus, but the upper body remains in a state of rest due to inertia.
FnetтАЛ=mтЛЕa тАФ Represents the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, where mass is the measure of inertia.
p=mтЛЕv тАФ Defines momentum, which is the product of mass and velocity, distinct from the concept of inertia.
Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of an object; the greater the mass, the greater the resistance to change in motion. This is qualitatively expressed as the inability of a body to change its own state, requiring an external force to overcome its inherent resistance.
Inertia is a qualitative property, not a physical force.
Mass is the quantitative measure of inertia.
There are three types of inertia: Inertia of rest, Inertia of motion, and Inertia of direction.
Tightening the head of a hammer by striking its handle against a surface.
Dust being removed from a carpet by beating it with a stick.
Inertia is independent of the object's velocity but dependent solely on its mass.
Gravitation is an attractive force, Momentum is the 'quantity of motion', and Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
B is correct тАФ Inertia is defined as the inherent property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion.
Always remember that mass is the quantitative measure of inertia; if a question asks for the 'measure' of inertia, always choose 'mass'.
