Does speed determine how much ineria an object has?
No. It's best to think of inertia as another name for "mass".
What property of matter determines how much inertia an object has?
mass
How can the inertia of an object be determined?
As it turns out, inertial mass is equivalent to gravitational mass, so if you simply weigh an object, you can determine both its weight and its inertia. These are always in direct proportion; twice as much weight equals twice as much inertia. The main difference is that weight does change in different locations; an object can become weightless while in orbit, while inertia does not change. But here on the surface of the Earth, it is very simple to weigh an object and get a meaningful result which applies both to gravitational mass and inertial mass. If you were in orbit, then the problem becomes a bit trickier.
What is the key factor that determines how much inertia an object has?
The answr to your question is, the mass on an object.
Which quantity is twice when an object has twice as much mass as another?
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
Does speed determine how much ineria an object has?
No. It's best to think of inertia as another name for "mass".
What property of matter determines how much inertia an object has?
mass
Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?
Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.

What is the use for mass?
Mass is used to determine how much matter an object holds/how much matter is in the object welcome!!
Why does a semi truck have more inertia?
Inertia is a measure of how resistant an object's motion is to changing that motion, and is related to the mass of an object. Increase mass and inertia increases; decrease mass and inertia decreases. For an object to have greater inertia, it must therefore have greater mass. Semi- trucks are very massive vehicles, much more than others normally found, so they will have more inertia than anything else driven on roads. An average car or light truck might have a mass of 1 to 2 tonnes; semis usually have many tens of tonnes mass.
Which term describes the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion?
An object's tendency to resist a change in its state of motion is called inertia. This is the basis of Newton's Laws of Motion; "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.". The state of motion refers to the object's velocity, which is the the speed and direction. One quantifies inertia as the quantity of mass of an object. On can say that the mass of an object is a measure of how much an object resists change in its motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. That's why it is harder to push a 3 ton box as opposed to a soccer ball, or something lighter.
What determine how much gravity something has?
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
What 2 factors determine how much kinetic energy an object has?
Mass and Velocity
