The resistance to change is the object’s “inertia” or mass (kg).

Answer 2

an object accelerates in proportion to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass/inertia.

Question 3

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When you push on something, it pushes back - when you pull on
something, it pulls back.
