The moment of inertia is directly related to an objects mass. Increase the moment of inertia can be initiated by spreading mass outwards radially. For example, a figure skater can alter their spin velocity by moving their arms inward to go faster, and placing them out to slow down. That is how the moment of inertia is increased or decreased accordingly.

Some methods that have been successfully tried:

# Pressing on the accelerator pedal is the most common method. # Traveling on a more negative incline (eg descending a hill). # Getting people to push (eg for a stalled car). # Getting a tow (eg for a defunct car). # Pushing the thing over the edge of a cliff.

Inertia is increased when the mas (aka matter) of the object is incresed. ~Ares

One way would be to increase the mass of the object. Another would be to increase the radius of the arc.

How is momentum increased?

With less inertia.


What happens to the momentum if the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased?

Momentum increases.


How can momentum be increase of the body?

momentum of a body can be increased either by increasing velocity or by mass.since momentum = mass * velocity.


How can the momentum of a body be increase?

momentum of a body can be increased either by increasing velocity or by mass.since momentum = mass * velocity.


What does momentum have to do with a race car driver?

People use that word in two ways. In the technical way, momentum is what prevents the brakes from stopping the car instantly. It is the weight-that-wants-to-keep-on-moving. In the other way, momentum means that a driver who has won a few races can be expected to win the next race.


Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?

Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.


Is the total angular momentum conserved when there is a two car collision?

Total angular momentum is always conserved - there is no way you can violate that law. So, the answer is yes.


If you drop a suitcase out of a car what happens to the cars momentum?

If you drop a suitcase out of a moving car, the momentum of the car will decrease as there will be less mass, therefore less momentum. :)


If you have increased the momentum of a moving object without increasing its inertia then you have?

increased the velocity of the object


Why does a person without a seat belt continue moving in a car accident?

Momentum! Car has momentum before an accident, this momentum is transferred to the person after the car has made an abrupt stop (accident).


An example of momentum?

Momentum is motion. When a car is moving it is exhibiting momentum. A young professional getting promotions is experiencing momentum.


What has greater momentum a car standing still or a bug fyling?

Assuming that both the stationary car and the flying bug can be analyzed against the same reference point, the bug has the greater momentum. Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. If the car exhibits no motion, then its momentum is zero. Since the bug is flying, it has nonzero velocity and a nonzero momentum, which is greater than the car's momentum.
