Inertia is a body's resistance to moving, or to change velocity once under motion. It is a function of mass and velocity.
Inertia can also be described as a body's tendancy to maintain momentum - once it has a specific momentum, it will maintain that same momentum until an outside force acts upon the body.
Momentum is calculated using the following formula:
P = mv
Where P is momentum (a vector quantity), m is the mass of the object (a scalar quantity), and v is the object's velocity (a vector quantity).

∙ 15y agoMatter and inertia are related through mass. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter within an object. The greater the mass, the greater the amount of matter within the object. Inertia is an object's resistance to accelration, and the greater the mass, the greater the inertia.

As acceleration increases, the object will be harder to move out of its trajectory because you have to apply an equal or greater force on said object to slow it down or stop it (negative acceleration).
Newton said that an object in motion will stay in constant motion and direction, unless acted upon by an external force. Acceleration just gives more force to an object, allowing it to move with less hindrance (in terms of percentage) to gravity or friction, two fundamental Earth forces.

How is inertia related to matter?
matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.
How are mass and interia related?
Inertia refers to the resistance of an object when there is a change in the motion of the object. The more inertia the object has, the more mass it will have.
How is inertia related to the objects mass?
The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. It is harder to change the motion of an object that has more mass.
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".
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.....
Does mass affect inertia?
inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.
What is the term for an object's tendency to resist changes in motion?
That is commonly known as "inertia". That's related to the mass of the object.
Is mass related to inertia?
Inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force acts against this object. The larger the mass the object has, the more force must be used to go against its movement. In this way, mass relates to inertia.
How are mass and inertia related?
If the mass of an object increases, the amount of inertia increases as well.
An object wants to mantain its state of motion because it has?
Inertia, which is related to mass.
Is the inertia of a body equal to its mass?
Inertia is related to the mass, and it is proportional to the mass. When measuring things, you will usually measure the mass, not the inertia - but it basically amounts to the same. Just consider the mass to be what gives an object its inertia.
How is mass associated with inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion. It is represented numerically by an object's mass. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.
