Which of the following would probably need the greatest force to overcome its inertia? option 1 a tennis ball 2 a sports ar 3 a dump truck and four a bicycle

A dump truck.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion is known as law of inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Where;

The inertia of an object such as a tractor trailer rig is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher quantity of matter in a dump truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, a dump truck would probably need the greatest force to overcome its inertia because it has more mass than all the other objects in the category. Also, the mass of an object is directly proportional to its inertia, as well as the force applied.

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.
