Inertia in physics is generally defined as resistance to change in velocity and it is measured as a change in momentum. (p is momentum, so change in momentum would be Δp, measured as Δp = m*Δv)

What does the inertia of and object depend on?

An objects mass is a measure of its inertia.


What is a inertia?

There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.


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 is a measure of an objects resistance t movement?

Inertia.


What is the measure of an objects ability to remain at rest or keep moving?

inertia


Is a measure of an objects velocity the same as the measure of the objects inertia?

No.Consider a grain of rice and a banana. If you threw these at someone so that they were moving at the same speed, their velocities would be the same.However, you would hardly feel the impact of the grain of rice but the banana would hurt.The force of the impact is a measure of the relative inertia of the two objects.Where two objects are traveling at the samevelocity, the inertia is greater in that object that has the greatest mass.


When you measure an object's resistance to motion you must measure what?

Inertia is an objects resistance to change in motion. Frictional forces resist motion.


Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?

Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.


What do you you call the amount of matter in an object or a measure or the inertia of an object?

Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object. As mass increases, inertia increases because heavier objects have more of a tendency to stay at their initial state than lighter objects.


What objects have the most intertia?

Inertia is related to mass; you might say that inertia IS mass. The objects which have the most inertia are the most massive objects. Those are also the heaviest objects, since mass affects weight.


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.


Do objects have inertia?

yes
