The correct answer is Inertia.

CONCEPT:

  • The inherent property of all the bodies by virtue of which they cannot change their state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line by their own is called inertia.
  • Inertia is not a physical quantity, it is only a property of the body which depends on the mass of the body.

EXPLANATION:

  • A force is a push or pulls upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Therefore option 1 is incorrect.
  • From above it is clear that the tendency of undisturbed objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called Inertia. Therefore the option 2 is correct.
  • Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Therefore option 3 is incorrect.
  • The capacity to do work is known as energy. Therefore option 4 is incorrect.
