What is the measure of resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion?

  • A. mass
  • B. weight
  • C. volume
  • D. length
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: mass. Mass is the measure of resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion, known as inertia. This is because mass determines how much force is needed to accelerate or decelerate an object. Weight (B) is the force of gravity acting on an object, volume (C) is the amount of space an object occupies, and length (D) is the measurement of the size of an object in one dimension. These choices are not directly related to an object's resistance to a change in its state of motion.
