  1. to increase its speed
  2. to decrease its speed
  3. to decelerate due to friction
  4. to resist any change in its state of motion

A
to decelerate due to friction
B
to increase its speed

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Inertia of an object is the tendency of the object to resist change in motion. The inertia is directly dependent on the mass of the body.
Inertia resist any change in its state of motion and is of three types:
  1. Inertia of rest
  2. Inertia of motion
  3. Inertia of direction
