True or False Lighter objects have less inertia than heavy objects?

True. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.

∙ 12y agoSince the weight of an object is variable in different gravitational environments, and mass is the same in any environment, it would be more appropriate to ask whether less massive objects have less inertia than more massive objects. Since inertia is a measure of mass, the question answers itself. More massive objects have more inertia. In any given gravitational environment, more massive objects also weigh more.

Why does a heavy thing go further than a lighter thing?
because of inertia if the mass of the object is more than inertia also be more
Do heavy objects have a larger mass than lighter ones?
Yes, if the objects are side by side or at least in identical gravitational fields.
Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds Which will have the most inertia?
The one with the largest mass
Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds. Which will have the most inertia?
The one with the largest mass
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavy objects?
It doesn't. But what makes a book fall faster (seemingly) than a feather or piece of paper (lets say) is air pressure, and the way it is shaped.

Objects sink in water because they are heavy true of false?
False. Objects sink in water because they are more dense than water.
What is a objects weight after it has gone through a change?
It depends: for instance, heavy hardwood becomes much lighter when converted (changed) to charcoal. Heavy coal becomes lighter when converted to coke.
Do heavy objects have a larger mass than lighter ones?
Yes, if the objects are side by side or at least in identical gravitational fields.

How long in seconds would it take for an object to fall 120 meters?
depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.
Why a heavy object does not falle faster than a light object?
When heavy objects roll down something, fricition is involved. Friction is made by the rubbing of one thing against the other. Try rubbing your hands together reallly fast. Do your hands feel warm? Heavy objects have more friction, which slows down the heavy object. Lighter objects have less friction which cause it to run faster.

Does a heavier object always have more inertia than a lighter object?
Inertia is "rotary momentum"; an object's ability to continue spinning when a decelerating force is applied.Just as a heavy object takes more effort to stop from the same speed as a light object, so does a heavy object take more effort to stop from turning at the same speed as a light object.So assuming they are turning at the same angular velocity, the heavier one has a larger inertia. Otherwise, remember that inertia is also proportional to angular velocity.
Does lighter paper fly farther that heavier paper?
Heavy paper flys the farthest and the light paper flys the least , because the heavier paper has more inertia thus making them fly further.
Why does a styrofoam ball floats in water?
Styrofoam is lighter than water, so it floats. In nature, heavy objects are more effected by gravity, so they are forced down.
