Inertia is dependent on the mass of the object being considered, and sometimes by its momentum - depending on how we are using the term. Recall that inertia is the resistance of a body to a change in motion. (A body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force. And, a body in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force.) We think of something massive as resistive to being moved. That's inertia. But it's not moving. If that same massive body is rolling, it will have a lot of momentum, and it will take a great deal of force to slow and stop it. In the first case, the object has no velocity, and will have no momentum. In the second case, it's moving, and it will have momentum.

Hope this helped! :D

The amount of inertia an object has depends on its?
amount of inertia of body depends upon mass of that body
What is electric potential dependent upon?
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
What is another name for newton's first law?
the name for newton's third law is the law of inertia. it states that an object that is moving will keep in motion unless an outside force acts upon it and an object at rest will continue to be at rest until an outside force acts upon it.
Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force it stays at rest due to its?
Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force, it stays at rest due to its inertia.
Explain why the speed of sound changes if the temperature of the medium changes?
The speed of sound depends upon elasticity and inertia of the medium which in turn depend upon the temperature of the medium.That's why speed of sound depends upon the temperature of the medium.
On what factor does the inertia of a body depend?
inertia simply depends upon mass.
What is quasistatic analysis?
its time dependent loading, where inertia effects are neglected
16 What is inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion until acted upon by a force.
The amount of inertia an object has depends on its?
amount of inertia of body depends upon mass of that body
Electricity is dependent upon what?
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
What gives an object inertia for newtons laws?
Nothing gives an object inertia. Inertia is not a force. It is just the tendency of an object to continue in its motion if there is no force acting upon it.
What is electric potential dependent upon?
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
Which has greater inertia a car or a rollerskating shoe?
Situation dependent. When neither is moving, then neither one.
The carrying capacity of a given environment is least dependent upon?
The carrying capacity is least dependent upon daily temperature fluctuations.
How was the south dependent on slavery?
The economy of the South was dependent upon slave labor.
The law of inertia states that when the force acting upon an object are?
balanced
Use inertia in a sentence?
Inertia is the property of matter that states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
