If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?

That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.

What is an object's resistance in speed or direction until an outside force is acted upon it?
friction
Can one object have more than one rotational inertia?
YES. Infact, an object can have infinitely different moment of inertias. It all depends on the axis about which it it rotating. You can allow an object to rotate about any axis (this may or may not pass through the object).
What causes hurricanes to move in a certain direction?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. Newton's laws of motion govern the motion of an object in a (non accelerating) inertial frame of reference. Counter clockwise northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
How is inertia related to matter?
matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.
What gives an object inertia for newtons laws?
Nothing gives an object inertia. Inertia is not a force. It is just the tendency of an object to continue in its motion if there is no force acting upon it.
What is the effect that causes object to move in a curved direction due to the earths rotation?
It's called Coriolis force.
Why moment of inertia is also called rotational inertia?
Because it is a measure of the "resistence" of an object to be accelerated in its rotation. An object with a big moment of inertia is more difficult to increase/decrease its angular velocity (speed of rotation), than an object with a low moment of inertia.
Why moment of inertia is called rotational inertia?
That's what it's all about: about rotation. The "inertia" part is because it is comparable to the linear inertia: that's what makes it difficult to change an object's rotation.
What is the force acting on an object that will change the direction of object?
inertia
Define centroid and moment of inertia?
The centroid is the geometric centre of an object. Moment of inertia is a objects resistance to rotation and has the units kg.m^2
The rotational inertia of an object increase as the mass and the distance of the mass from the center of rotation?
Answer #1:The Rotational Inertia of an object increases as the mass "increases" and thedistance of the mass from the center of rotation "decreases".=================================Answer #2:If Answer #1 were correct, then flywheels would be made as small as possible,and a marble would be harder to spin than a wagon wheel is.An object's rotational inertia (moment of inertia) increases in direct proportionto its mass, and increases in proportion to the square of the distance of themass from the center of rotation.
The resistance of an object to changes in its motion?
The resistance of an object to changes in its motion is known as inertia. Changes in an objects motion include changes in its speed and direction.
How do you find out the direction of angular accelaration?
The direction of angular acceleration comes from whether the angular speed of the object is clockwise or counterclockwise and whether it is speeding up or slowing down.The direction of the angular acceleration will be positive if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe direction of the angular acceleration will be negative if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe angular acceleration will not have a direction if the object's angular velocity is constant
What is the transfer of energy to an object using a force that causes the object to move in the other direction of the force?
Inertia.
If an object left Earth which direction would it travel due to inertia and Earth's rotation?
It would depend on the objects location, time, and the gravitational pull on the object.
What is the definiton of inertia?
inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest, or to continue to move in the same direction at constant speed. [physics]
How does inertia work?
It is exactly the same as momentum and covered by Newton's first law of motion. Inertia is a way of expressing the force required to get an object to move from rest, or the force required to change the velocity or direction of an object in motion. Anything that has mass will have inertia - a "resistance to move or change velocity or direction of motion".
