Answer:

The fact that the snowball will continue in the direction of Chris after leaving George's hand is an example of the snowballs Inertia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to restrain changes in velocity (speed and/or direction). According to the first law of motion of Newton, an object with a given velocity retains the velocity until an external force acts on it.

The amount of inertia inherent in an object is proportional to its mass.

Cheers!
