The property of the moving object by virtue of which it exerts forces on the object that tries to stop it is
Correct answer: A. Inertia of body
- A. Inertia of body
- B. Quantity of motion of body
- C. Acceleration of body
- D. All of these
Explanation
Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, including its tendency to maintain its current velocity and oppose external forces that try to stop it.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
