Inertia is the inherent property of a body that makes it oppose any force that would cause a change in its motion.
A body at rest and a body in motion both oppose forces that might cause acceleration. The inertia of a body can be measured by its mass, which governs its resistance to the action of a force, or by its moment of inertia about a specified axis, which measures its resistance to the action of a torque about the same axis.
It was from Newton's first law of motion,that leads to the definition of inertia .

How are the terms inertia and motion related?
The 1st modern theory of inertia was theorized by sir Isaac Newton in 1687. He said inertia = mass * acceleration. Acceleration is = to motion in this instance.
Does a 92 eagle summit have an inertia switch and if so where is it located?
No inertia switch.
Can inertia change with mass?
the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so to answer your ? yes inertia changes depending on mass :]
Is gravity the opposite of inertia?
it is so not so
Is it true that the larger the mass the smaller interia?
no. Inertia is directly proportional to mass. So twice the mass, twice the inertia, etc. So, the larger the mass, the greater the inertia.
Why is it said that mass is a measure of inertia?
This is related to Newton's Second Law. The more mass an object has, the more difficult it is to accelerate it; in other words, the more inertia it has.
Is toast a inertia?
Yes. Toast is definitely "a inertia." (sic) In fact, anything on the earth's surface has inertia simply because the earth spins so fast.
Who suggested the theory of inertia?
Law of inertia is the part of newton's 1st law. So newton proposed it.
Does Inertia act to everything?
Inertia is a characteristic of anything that has mass, so the answer may depend on how you define "everything."
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.
Place where inertia would be found?
everywhere Anything having the property of mass has inertia, so except for a few exotic subatomic particles, everything has the property of inertia.
The property of matter that resists change in motion?
That is called inertia. Inertia is directly related to mass, so it can be expressed in kilograms.
