inertia: a mass which resists change in its motion So that a planet doesnt run into the middle of the sun and burn and if earth did, we would melt because we would crash into the middle of the sun
Inertia - resistance to change in motion.
In other words, inertia is the tendency for a body at rest to remain at rest, and for a body in motion to remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force.
Inertia means: the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Inertia means the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged; Physics a property of matter by witch it continues in it's existing state of rest of uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force; resistance to change in some other physical property
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion. The principle of inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics which are used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces. Inertia comes from the Latin word, iners, meaning idle, or lazy. Isaac newton defined inertia as his first law in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which states:[1]The vis insita, or innate force of matter, is a power of resisting by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavours to preserve its present state, whether it be of rest or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.
In common usage the term "inertia" may refer to an object's "amount of resistance to change in velocity" (which is quantified by its mass), or sometimes to itsmomentum, depending on the context. The term "inertia" is more properly understood as shorthand for "the principle of inertia" as described by Newton in his First Law of Motion; that an object not subject to any net external force moves at a constant velocity. Thus an object will continue moving at its current velocity until some force causes its speed or direction to change.
On the surface of the Earth inertia is often masked by the effects of friction and gravity, both of which tend to decrease the speed of moving objects (commonly to the point of rest). This misled classical theorists such as Aristotle, who believed that objects would move only as long as force was applied to them.
Inertia or mass is a property of matter that determines how much it is affected by gravity. It is the tendency of matter to either remain at rest if at rest, or to continue its uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Inertia is the resistance of an object to change from a state of rest to a state of motion, change it's speed of motion, or go from motion to rest.
inertia is related to mass. Everything being equal, a heavier mass will have slower motion. More inertia, to me, may mean adding more mass (or weight) or slower speed.
The Law of Inertia means , No force, No Acceleration (change in velocity) and Vice verso No acceleration (change in velocity), No Force.
momentum is inertia in motion! :)
the more mass a body has the more inertia it has
Yes, inertia=mass*velocity
Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Unless you mean rotational inertia, in which case it depends on the shape, but for two objects of the same shape (and mass distribution), the more massive always has higher inertia.
Its mass. Greater the mass more the inertia
A hammer would hit the ground first because a hammer is heavier
Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.
the more mass a body has the more inertia it has
Yes, inertia=mass*velocity
no more, inertia is proportional to mass
I mean have More, Less,or the Same Intertia
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
Nothing specifically. Inertia is a proprety of matter (as you may know from the Bill Nye the Science Guy intro), and just because there is more mass to an oject doesn't really mean that it would have more inertia. However, other forces such as friction and gravity are spread over an oject, so there would be more friction due to the mass and more downwards force because of gravity + the mass.
Gravity affects inertia. The lower the gravity, the more inertia.
The astronaut's inertia is MORE on the moon.
Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Unless you mean rotational inertia, in which case it depends on the shape, but for two objects of the same shape (and mass distribution), the more massive always has higher inertia.
True. Mass is the only way to measure inertia. more mass = more inertiaYes, a cart loaded with groceries has more inertia because it has more mass than the empty cart. The inertia of any object is determined by the amount of its mass.Truetrue
Yes, inertia=mass*velocity
