Inertia is a property of mass, and since mass can be measured (normally by kilograms) then inertia can also be measured. All scientific measurements are done with numbers, that is what we mean when we say that we measure something. If you are going to estimate a size without using numbers (as in, that's a really big apple) that is not a measurement.

An object's inertia is measured by measuring its what?
An objects mass is a direct measurement of its inertia.
What is a measured of inertia?
tendency to maintain momentum!!!!!!!!
Is inertia physical quantity?
Yes, because it can be measured.
What is the SI unit of inertia of a body?
Inertia can be measured by an object's mass. That would make the SI unit the kilogram.
Is inertia a property of matter?
Yes. It is measured by the amount of mass.
Can depth be measured in negative numbers?
No, it is measured in positive numbers but it can be represented by negative numbers.
How is volts different from amps?
voltage is measured in terms of volts ; current is measured in terms of amps.........................................
The measure of mass is ...?
In SI (the International System), mass is measured in kilograms.
What measures how hard it is to slow or stop an object?
It all depends on its acceleration, velocity, speed and its mass. The faster somthing goes, the more time it takes to slow down. To slow the same onject down fater, more force has to be applied in the opposite direction. A less massive object [lighter] takes less time to slow down than a more massive object [heavier].
What do you measure to find an objects inertia?
Inertia in physics is generally defined as resistance to change in velocity and it is measured as a change in momentum. (p is momentum, so change in momentum would be Δp, measured as Δp = m*Δv)
How do you decide the object which has the highest moment of inertia out of two objects?
Just moment of inertia is incomplete requirement as the axis about which it is to be measured is also very important
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.
