Problem
Identify the correct statement about inertia.
(a) Inertia is the force required to move or stop a body.
(b) Inertia is greater for faster-moving objects regardless of mass.
(c) Inertia is inversely proportional to mass, so lighter bodies show more inertia.
(d) Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist any change in its state of motion, and it increases with mass.
