Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.
Objects with more mass have more inertia. The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its motion. Thats is how inertia effects and object.
(Don't worry I got this from my Science Textbook)

Why moment of inertia is also called rotational inertia?
Because it is a measure of the "resistence" of an object to be accelerated in its rotation. An object with a big moment of inertia is more difficult to increase/decrease its angular velocity (speed of rotation), than an object with a low moment of inertia.
What is inertia and what determines how much i ntertia an object has?
the mass of the object determines the amount of inertia in an object
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.
What is momentum the measure of?
If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move. When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object
What is it when an object resists any change in motion?
inertia. the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia. what do you call it when an object refuses a object in motion?
How would zero gravity affect inertia?
Zero gravity does not affect inertia. The inertia of an object is an inherent property of the object and is directly proportional to the object's mass.
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
What is inertia how does it affect the way an object moves?
inertia is defined as the tendency of an object to continue in its state of rest/motion/direction. if u try to get down a running bus, your body was actually in motion with speed=the speed of bus. so it does not stop immediately u need to run for a while otherwise u will fall. this is inertia of motion.
Is average speed the same thing as inertia?
No. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity.
Does the mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How does mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How does moving air affect objects?
"Air Pressure affect moving bodies by highly air pressure bump into a less dense object then acceleration functions then turn by speed and inertia where alll things stop called inertia help by friction."
Why moment of inertia is also called rotational inertia?
Because it is a measure of the "resistence" of an object to be accelerated in its rotation. An object with a big moment of inertia is more difficult to increase/decrease its angular velocity (speed of rotation), than an object with a low moment of inertia.
Can the Inertia of an object change as the object's velocity is changing?
No. What we call 'inertia' is actually a manifestation of the object's mass,which doesn't change (as long as the object isn't moving at some seriousfraction of light speed).
What word means the unwillingness of an object to move or if the object is moving to changethe speed or get it to stop?
Inertia
The natural resistance of any object to change its speed is called?
inertia
How does mass affect the interia of an object?
The more mass there is the more inertia there is.
