A which mass has resistance to a force acting on it has inertia. Ah, but then the amount of inertia must be qualified based on other characteristics. So it's a tricky question. You could quickly say yes, but not always easy to quantify unless you know the force (in Newtons) that is required to change it from the state of rest to motion.

Gravity is a nice example of inertia using the force equation F= (Gm m')/r 2

Where G is the gravitational constant. m and m' are two masses, and r is the distance between them. F is the force required to move the objects toward each other, In the case of a large mass like earth a soccer ball is a small mass and if held by a player we know that there it has inertia, we know the force of gravity.

How does mass affect the interia of an object?

The more mass there is the more inertia there is.


What is the definition of interia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object that is at rest to stay at rest or an object that is in motion to continue that motion.


How are mass and interia related?

Inertia refers to the resistance of an object when there is a change in the motion of the object. The more inertia the object has, the more mass it will have.


What is the tendency of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in a place called?

inertia


What did newton call the force exerted by the second object on a second object?

The equal force in the opposite direction.

What does interia?

gravity


What does interia explains?

interia keeps going in a straight line but with friction it will slow down


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 can affect the amount of friction on an object?

the weight of the object, what its outside consists of, the nature of the surface it resting on.
