Answer:10 lb bag of potatoes

Explanation:According to first law of emotion , an object remains at rest or continues in motion and in the same direction with the same speed , unless an external force is applied to that object. An object's resistance to motion is described as inertia.

A heavier object is likely to have a greater tendency to resist motion than a lighter object. The higher the mass the greater the resistance .

A 10 lb bag of potatoes is the heaviest amongst the list .
