Final answer:
Option D, novelty, is not a physical property of objects because it does not describe any measurable or observable characteristics without changing the object's composition. Instead, it refers to the uniqueness of an object.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking which option is NOT a physical property of objects. Physical properties are characteristics of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the material. Options A (intensity), B (size), C (contrast), and E (motion) can all be considered physical properties because they are attributes that do not involve changing the chemical composition of an object. Therefore, the correct answer is D (novelty), which is not a physical property since it refers to the uniqueness or newness of an object and does not describe its physical characteristics.
When it comes to quantifying an object's inertia, mass is the most appropriate measure. Inertia is a property of matter that describes its resistance to any change in motion, and mass is directly proportional to an object's inertia. Hence, for question 16, mass is the correct answer.
SUMUP of final answers:
- Novelty is NOT a physical property of objects.
- Mass best quantifies an object's inertia.
