∙ 14y agothe two main things are speed and velocity. You have to factor in a bunch of smaller things too, but those don't really have much effect.

Why does a semi truck have more inertia?
Inertia is a measure of how resistant an object's motion is to changing that motion, and is related to the mass of an object. Increase mass and inertia increases; decrease mass and inertia decreases. For an object to have greater inertia, it must therefore have greater mass. Semi- trucks are very massive vehicles, much more than others normally found, so they will have more inertia than anything else driven on roads. An average car or light truck might have a mass of 1 to 2 tonnes; semis usually have many tens of tonnes mass.
What happen when light reflects?
When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
Why is it harder to overcome the inertia of a bowling ball than a baseball?
The only real way to answer this is to define the terms, then it should make sense. Mass - How much of something there is, and what its made of. A rock and a spunge may be the same size, but the rock has more mass. Gravity - The force of attraction between any two objects. Usually the Earth, and somthing else. Based on the masses of the two objects. Weight - The amount of force due to gravity. A rock on earth will weigh less on mars because the mass of mars is less than the mass of earth. This is also why you don't feel 'weight' between you and your cup of coffee. The masses of the two objects is much too small to be felt. This is the same thing as 'heavy,' just a different word. Inertia - Refers to how much energy you need to get an object moving. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. This is totally independent from gravity or weight. With those definitions, you should be able to figure it out. Bowling balls are heavier because they have more mass, and they are heavy because of gravity. Also, bowling balls have more inertia, because they have more mass.
Why does it take more force to accelerate a more massive object?
A force will not increase or decrease an acceleration. If the force is constant, it will cause a constant acceleration. It may increase or decrease the speed. The change of velocity - for the same force - is the same, whether the speed is increasing, decreasing, or just changing direction.
How does observation limit what scientist can study?

What property of matter determines how much inertia an object has?
mass
What is the key factor that determines how much inertia an object has?
The answr to your question is, the mass on an object.
What property of an objects determines how much inertia it has?
Fg
What is how much matter is in an object and the measure of inertia on an object?
how much matter dose a chocolate chip has
Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?
Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.
Which quantity is twice when an object has twice as much mass as another?
inertia
What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
Which term describes the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion?
An object's tendency to resist a change in its state of motion is called inertia. This is the basis of Newton's Laws of Motion; "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.". The state of motion refers to the object's velocity, which is the the speed and direction. One quantifies inertia as the quantity of mass of an object. On can say that the mass of an object is a measure of how much an object resists change in its motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. That's why it is harder to push a 3 ton box as opposed to a soccer ball, or something lighter.
What determines how much electromagnetic energy is given off by an object?
Its temperature.
What determines how much an object speeds up of slows down?
Net force.
Does speed determine how much ineria an object has?
No. It's best to think of inertia as another name for "mass".
How can the inertia of an object be determined?
As it turns out, inertial mass is equivalent to gravitational mass, so if you simply weigh an object, you can determine both its weight and its inertia. These are always in direct proportion; twice as much weight equals twice as much inertia. The main difference is that weight does change in different locations; an object can become weightless while in orbit, while inertia does not change. But here on the surface of the Earth, it is very simple to weigh an object and get a meaningful result which applies both to gravitational mass and inertial mass. If you were in orbit, then the problem becomes a bit trickier.
