It changes when an external force acts upon it.
In theory.
But in fact 'Rest Mass' is the only valid measure of mass of an object. If it is in relative motion with respect to anything else, including an observer, then it can also be assigned "momentum," which is a relative concept. We habitually anthropocentrically assign momentum to things in motion with respect to 'us'.
Consider also a gyroscope. It has momentum when it is spinning, so we say higher 'inertia'. We must eventually revert to the energy / mass relation; E=mc^2.

An object tendacy to resist any change in motion is called?
This tendency is known as Inertia.
Can inertia change with mass?
the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so to answer your ? yes inertia changes depending on mass :]
What is the tendency of matter to resist change in motion?
Inertia: the property of matter that resists changes in motion.
What resist change in velocity?
Inertia.
Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its?
Inertia is directly proportional to an objects mass. Inertia is the desire of objects to continue doing exactly what they are doing. The greater the mass the greater the inertia.
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.
Property of matter that resist change?
Inertia inertia
What is a sentence for the word inertia?
In physics, inertia is an object's resistance to any change in motion, such as a change in velocity.
Another term for resistance to change or a measure of mass is what?
"inertia"
What measures an object tendency to resist change in its motion?
Inertia.
An objects resistance to change in motion?
Inertia. Inertia applies to both increases and decreases in velocity.
An object tendacy to resist any change in motion is called?
This tendency is known as Inertia.
The defention of inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist change in motion.
How do you pronouce inertia?
inertia in-er-sha amount of resistance to change in velocity
Can inertia change with mass?
the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so to answer your ? yes inertia changes depending on mass :]
What is the tendency of matter to resist change in motion?
Inertia: the property of matter that resists changes in motion.
Does weight change influence inertia?
no
