Yes. Inertia is what holds an object in motion from falling faster than the object falling at the same time. Say you have a brick and a feather. Which falls faster? Neither. You see, inertia contributes with the third law of motion, meaning an object at rest will stay at rest until a net zero force acts upon it. Meaning that inertia is that net zero force keeping that object at rest still. Now, if you dropped a brick off of the building at the same time as the feather, inertia would keep the brick from falling faster than the feather because of its speed. Gravity is pulling the object toward earth and inertia is holding it back. Same for the feather except theres less inertia because of the weight of the feather.More Speed= More inertia. Keep that in mind.

What is a body's resistance to changes in motion or speed called?
inertia.
Centrifuge : inertia :: wheel:?
speed
What type of ball has a greater inertia?
The one with the greatest mass. In general, inertia is related to mass. Inertia = momentum = mass X speed (technically, velocity). The one with the greater speed (if equal masses).
If speed doubles does inertia change?
yes
Is inertia harmful or useful to man?
Inertia can be useful and harmful to man. A speeding car will be able to maintain some of its speed by inertia, but a sudden stop will violently transfer that inertia to the passengers' bodies.

inertia.
What means the samething as speed?
inertia
Centrifuge : inertia :: wheel:?
speed
Is average speed the same thing as inertia?
No. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity.
What is static inertia?
Static inertia is when a body at rest wants to stay at rest, or a body that is moving at a constant speed stays at the constant speed.
What type of ball has a greater inertia?
The one with the greatest mass. In general, inertia is related to mass. Inertia = momentum = mass X speed (technically, velocity). The one with the greater speed (if equal masses).
What does an objet's inertia depends on it?
Mass & speed.
If speed doubles does inertia change?
yes
Is inertia harmful or useful to man?
Inertia can be useful and harmful to man. A speeding car will be able to maintain some of its speed by inertia, but a sudden stop will violently transfer that inertia to the passengers' bodies.
What is the definiton of inertia?
inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest, or to continue to move in the same direction at constant speed. [physics]
Use the word inertia in a sentence?
Inertia = force The race car had the inertia to break the speed record and sound barrier. The hurricane's inertia was dying out. The wind force had gone down to 30 miles an hour.
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
