Nope. While weight is proportional to both mass and the local gravitational field or acceleration, inertia (and by extension momentum) is related only to mass - and special types of inertia, such as rotational inertia, is related only to the distribution of mass (bunched up mass has less rotational inertia than the same amount of mass, only spread out).

Can you feel inertia?
No, you cannot feel inertia. Just like you can't feel gravity. In fact, most of the forces of the Earth cannot be felt.
What to eat to gain weight on your bottom?
what to eat to gain weight on your bottom Generally, when you gain weight is over all and not in just one specific place. If you sit on your rear day after day like secretaries do you will get a bigger bottom.
Inertia is a force?
Put simply, inertia is the measure of an object's reluctance to change its state of motion. The object's state of motion may be stationary or flying through space at 20,000 km/hr. The unit for measuring inertia in the SI is the same as for mass: the Kilogram. Inertia (mass) can be expected to increase when an object is traveling at relativistic (near the speed of light) speeds.Supervisor's note: The following answer is looking for a clear-headed makeover.Inertia is NOT a force because Inertia just is the resistance to change in motion. An object's inertia never changes.Here is something to think about so you can answer the question yourself...If you slide a pencil on the floor away from any object that could block it the pencil still stops. Do you think it is because gravity or inertia did it? No. The thing is inertia is just like the Law of conservation. All objects,energy, etc. follow it but inertia is not A FORCE that stops a car when it hits a wall. It is an outside force like friction which is what stoped the pencil from countinuing to slide on the ground. An object's inertia can change but not it's amount, because there is no amount of inertia because like i said before inertia is like a law, all objects have inertia (meaning they all follow the rule of inertia) If there were no other outside force like gravity and friction then when we could not accelarate and there would be no inertia. I know this paragraph makes no sence but to me this is how i look at inertia. As a law or property of matter and not a force. One last thing to think about. Does inertia change anything... if so write a disscusion and tell me what you think it changes and if a car crashes DID INERTIA CAUSE THAT...
What is the Difference between weight and inertia?
inertial mass is the measure of the object's inertia i.e; if an object has less inertial mass ,then it changes its motion readily. if it has more inertial mass ,then, it does not change its motion readily. gravitational mass is of 2 types. active and passive.active gravitational mass is something like.... u see, active gravitational mass of moon < active gravitational mass of earth. and passive gravitational mass is the measure of the strength of the object's interaction with the gravitational field.
What are the two factors that keep the earth orbiting the sun and the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity and Inertia. The gravity keeps the planet, moon etc. going in a circle and inertia keeps it going (inertia is the tendency of a moving object to continue in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place. If there was no gravity the planet, moon etc. would just go in a straight line but with gravity it pulls it in a circle like a string attached to an object at the center.
How can an objects weight be used to its advantage?
by using certain mechanical objects, like a pulley, you can use the object's own weight to its advantage. Also, by exploiting gravity and the object's own weight, you can use inertia to roll the object down the hill or yet better in a free fall.
What is the abbreviation for inertia?
The abbreviation for inertia is simply I. This is a very common symbol used in sciences like physics for example.
Is there an inertia switch on the 1988 trans am if so where is it located?
This is just a guess. Probably in trunk over wheel well and behind the cover they put in trunk. Try drivers side first. Like I said, just quessing from another car. Hope you get lucky!! An inertia switch is a ford item.
What is inertia like?
the name of newton's first law.
Relate inertia to stopping forces like friction?
it is
You like cheese with do you know the inertia of fart bubbles?
I feel that if you are looking for the inertia of when you eat the cheese and produce a fart bubble, the inertia should be around 3.14 or Pi. Wouldn't you agree?
How can the inertia be destroyed?
Inertia can not be destroyed, because inertia is a form of energy and energy can not be created or destroyed it is changed into a different form of energy like light, heat, chemical, or physical energy.
