The natural resistance of any object to change its speed is called?
inertia
Do you think you need a lot of force to change an object's inertia?
That is a tricky question. Possibly you would change an object's inertia if you supplied sufficient force to accelerate it to the speed of light?
Can the Inertia of an object change as the object's velocity is changing?
No. What we call 'inertia' is actually a manifestation of the object's mass,which doesn't change (as long as the object isn't moving at some seriousfraction of light speed).
How does gravity keep objects in motion?
It doesn't. It will change an objects direction and/or speed but its inertia that keeps it moving.
Does inertia depend on speed or mass or both?
The more speed an object possess, the more energy is needed to change that speed. Eg. a car going 100km/h will need more energy to stop than a car going 40km/h. The faster something is travelling, the more resistant it will be to a change in its motion (inertia).

How does inertia affect the speed of an object?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia. The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its motion. Thats is how inertia effects and object. (Don't worry I got this from my Science Textbook)

The property shared by all bodies to resist change of constant speed and direction is called?
inertia
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?
An object with more momentum will have more inertia. Inertia is the ability to resist a change in force; objects with higher masses and higher speeds will have greater inertia. Speed * mass = momentum

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.

What do we call an objects resistance in speed or direction?
The resistance to a change in velocity is called "inertia". It is related to the mass of an object.
Why aren't inertia governors are used widely?
Inertia governors are more sensitive than centrifugal type of governors.A small change in the speed of engine introduces large amount of change in the rotating bodies of the governor which are difficult to balance .
