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.

If a car stops suddenly your body keeps moving because it's because of Inertia ever heard of gravity and Inertia?

Yes, some times gravity effects but inertia depends upon external force and mass of it. Gravity is also an external force but in mass, higher the mass, higher the inertia and lower the mass, lower the inertia. For suppose an elephant and human, both are running in the same speed, human takes a short time to turn himself for his mass is less and less force is applied to turn whereas in elephant, its hard for it has more mass and takes a greater force to turn.

Is the rotational inertia of your leg greater when your leg is bending or straight?

The rotational inertia of your leg is greater when your leg is straight because the mass is distributed further away from the axis of rotation. When your leg is bending, the mass is closer to the axis of rotation, resulting in a lower rotational inertia.


What mass includes muscles vital tissues organs and bone?

The mass that includes muscles, vital tissues, organs, and bones is called lean body mass. This includes everything in your body that isn't fat mass. Lean body mass contributes to overall health and metabolic function.


Lean body mass is not made up of?

Lean body mass does not include essential body fat. It consists of muscles, bones, organs, and tissues that make up the body's overall weight, excluding fat mass.


The Most Abundant element in human body?

based on our fundemental constituant being Carbon and its adherance to oxygen as CO2 and Hydrogen H2O (being 70% approx of body mass), then on mass is would be Oxygen.

What determines the inertia of a body?

Its mass. Greater the mass more the inertia


What determine inertia of the body?

Its mass. Greater the mass more the inertia


What is the relationship between mass and inertia of an object?

The inertia of a body can be defined as the relunctance of a body to acceleration. The mass of a body can be defined as a measure of the inertia of a body. This is because acceleration = resultant force / mass. So, if mass is greater, the less will be the acceleration of the body and hence the greater the inertia.


The amount of inertia an object has depends on its?

amount of inertia of body depends upon mass of that body


What Factors affect the amount of inertia of body?

The amount of inertia of a body is determined by its mass - the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. Inertia also depends on the distribution of mass within the body - objects with more of their mass concentrated towards the outer edges have greater inertia. Additionally, the shape and size of an object can affect its inertia - larger and more compact objects tend to have more inertia.


Would a massless body have inertia?

Not a single body is present in this universe without mass but they can be weight less.By definition, mass is the measure of the inertia of a body, so if the body were without mass (as some particles, for example), it would have no inertia.


How can mass be defined in terms of?

The mass of a body is the measure of inertia of that body.


How does inertia depends on mass of the body?

Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of a body. The greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has. This means that objects with larger mass require more force to change their state of motion.


What factors affect inertia of body?

The inertia of a body is affected by its mass and distribution of mass, where more mass or mass distributed farther from the axis of rotation leads to greater inertia. Additionally, the shape and size of a body can also influence its inertia, where elongated or larger bodies typically have greater inertia compared to smaller or compact bodies.


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 inertia torque?

Inertia torque an imaginary torque, which when applied upon a rigid body, brings it in an equilibrium position. Its magnitude is equal to accelerating couple, but opposite in direction.T1 = -IαwhereI = mass moment of inertia of body andα = angular acceleration


Is weight of a body is a measure of inertia?

No, the weight of a body is a measure of the force of gravity acting on that body. Inertia, on the other hand, is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. While weight depends on the force of gravity, inertia depends on the mass of the object.
