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.

Which is measurement of inertia?

Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its motion. It is measured in terms of mass, which quantifies how much matter an object contains. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.


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 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)


Is rotational inertia the same as moment of inertia?

Yes, rotational inertia is the same as moment of inertia. Both terms refer to the resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion.


Can depth be measured in negative numbers?

No, it is measured in positive numbers but it can be represented by negative numbers.

What is the best definition for the mass of an object?

a way to describe how much matter there is in an object.


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


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].
