Zero gravity does not affect inertia. The inertia of an object is an inherent property of the object and is directly proportional to the object's mass.

∙ 7y agoIn zero gravity, inertia would remain the same as in normal gravity. Inertia is a property of a body that causes it to resist changes in its motion, regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. Thus, objects in zero gravity would still exhibit the same resistance to changes in motion as they would in a gravitational environment.

No, a massless object would not fall because it does not experience the force of gravity. Gravity acts on objects with mass, and the acceleration due to gravity is dependent on the mass of the object. Since a massless object has no mass, it would not be affected by gravity.
In microgravity, although the weight of an object may change due to the lack of gravitational force, its mass remains constant. Mass is an intrinsic property of matter that does not change regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. This means that an object will have the same mass regardless of its location in the universe.
No, speed and inertia are separate concepts. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, while speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. However, an object's inertia can affect its ability to change speed.
In classical physics, weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. If an object has zero mass, it would not experience weight as weight is proportional to mass. So, for a body to have zero weight, it would need to have zero mass.
In zero gravity, buoyancy would not be present as there is no gravity to create the force that causes objects to float in a fluid. Objects would not experience an apparent weight loss or loss of buoyancy in zero gravity.
They would not affect Newton's laws in the slightest.
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.

Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.
A two-ton bus would have zero weight in zero gravity, since weight is dependent on the force of gravity. However, gravity has an infinite range, so gravity would only actually be zero at an infinite distance from the source of the gravity.
Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.
No
They cant, if the did they planet would fall apart, zero-gravity doesnt exist.
