No you more inertia in outer space than anywhere else.


What is more flammable cotton or wool?

Cotton fabric will burn faster than wool fabric. Wool will also be more difficult to light than cotton and may even self extinguish.


Why is it harder to overcome the inertia of a bowling ball than a baseball?

The only real way to answer this is to define the terms, then it should make sense. Mass - How much of something there is, and what its made of. A rock and a spunge may be the same size, but the rock has more mass. Gravity - The force of attraction between any two objects. Usually the Earth, and somthing else. Based on the masses of the two objects. Weight - The amount of force due to gravity. A rock on earth will weigh less on mars because the mass of mars is less than the mass of earth. This is also why you don't feel 'weight' between you and your cup of coffee. The masses of the two objects is much too small to be felt. This is the same thing as 'heavy,' just a different word. Inertia - Refers to how much energy you need to get an object moving. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. This is totally independent from gravity or weight. With those definitions, you should be able to figure it out. Bowling balls are heavier because they have more mass, and they are heavy because of gravity. Also, bowling balls have more inertia, because they have more mass.


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.


Is a cotton ball a solid?

The particules inside the Cotton Wool are tight together and are barly moving meaning that it is a Solid. If they were move loose and moving around than it would be a liquid. If there were not many particules and they are moving about rapidly than it would be a Gas. Even if Wool is mould-able it's still a solid.

Which of the following objects has the greatest inertia baseball bowling ball pencil or toothpick?

I think the golf ball has more inertia than ping pong ball, becuase of its weight. It is much heavy which result that it could stay at rest more, than a very lightweight ping pong ball.


Does speed have to do with inertia?

Yes. Inertia is what holds an object in motion from falling faster than the object falling at the same time. Say you have a brick and a feather. Which falls faster? Neither. You see, inertia contributes with the third law of motion, meaning an object at rest will stay at rest until a net zero force acts upon it. Meaning that inertia is that net zero force keeping that object at rest still. Now, if you dropped a brick off of the building at the same time as the feather, inertia would keep the brick from falling faster than the feather because of its speed. Gravity is pulling the object toward earth and inertia is holding it back. Same for the feather except theres less inertia because of the weight of the feather.More Speed= More inertia. Keep that in mind.


Does a bowling ball on earth have more inertia than one on the moon?

No, a bowling ball (or any other object) has exactly the same inertial mass no matter where it is (its actual inertia will, of course, depend upon its velocity as well as its inertial mass). Weight changes on the moon, but inertia doesn't.

Why is a bag of nails have more inertia than an equal sized bag of cotton?

Size generally refers to volume in respect to containers. As a result a bag filled with nails will have more mass than an equal sized bag filled with cotton. Inertia is proportional to mass and the velocity the mass is travelling at, or alternately the mass and the acceleration it is subjected to. As a consequence a bag filled with nails travelling at the same velocity (or subjected to the same acceleration) as an equal sized bag filled with cotton has a greater inertia due to its greater mass.
