Inertia and mass are just measurements of the same thing - a characteristic of matter (presumably set by interaction with the Higgs field.

Weight - on the other hand - is a measurement of the force of attraction between two masses. As normally used, one mass is the planet Earth.

Is weight of a body is a measure of inertia?

No, a body's inertia is related to its mass and movement. Weight is related to a body's mass in a gravity field without movement.


Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?

No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".


Does inertia vary with place just like weight?

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).


What objects have the most intertia?

Inertia is related to mass; you might say that inertia IS mass. The objects which have the most inertia are the most massive objects. Those are also the heaviest objects, since mass affects weight.


The larger the mass the inertia?

Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.


What matter property is related to inertia?

i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....


How is inertia related to matter?

matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.


Are mass and inertia directly or inversely related?

mass and inertia are the same thing.


What property of matter is inertia related?

i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....


What is the effect of mass?

Inertia & weight.


What is inertia on which physical quantity does it depend?

Inertia is related to mass.


How is mass related to inertia?

the greater the mass, the greater will be the inertia produced in the body when the force is applied on it.
