Don't let speed or size fool you. The momentum of an object can be determined by multiplying the mass times it's velocity, so long as it's not accelerating. the product (kg x m / s) can also be written as the Newton second. This should easily solve your one dimensional linear situation.
In real life however, rarely is a object moving in one dimension only at a constant rate. For real life applications, research angular momentum.

An objects resistance to change in motion?
Inertia. Inertia applies to both increases and decreases in velocity.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of inertia?
Different velocities is what causes objects to have the same mass and different amounts of inertia. This can be written in a formula.
The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?
inertia
What is the result of the combination of an objects forward inertia and the downward pull of gravity on the object?
The result is friction.
How does inertia affect the speed of an object?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia. The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its motion. Thats is how inertia effects and object. (Don't worry I got this from my Science Textbook)
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.
What has the most affect on an objects inertia?
squer
What had the most effect on an objects Inertia?
Its mass
What has most effect on an objects inertia?
Mass
WHAT HAS THE MOST EFFECTS ON AN OBJECTS INERTIA?
Mass
What is a inertia?
There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.
What does the inertia of and object depend on?
An objects mass is a measure of its inertia.
Do objects have inertia?
yes
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Objects with more mass have ---- inertia?
Yes, inertia=mass*velocity
An objects resistance to change in motion?
Inertia. Inertia applies to both increases and decreases in velocity.
What items have the most inertia while at rest?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to continue to move, or stay at rest, unless affected by an externalÊforce. Inertia is related to the mass of an object so objects with greater mass have more inertia.
