What else can I help you with?
Do only objects that are not moving have inertia?
No, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether the object is moving or stationary. All objects, whether they are moving or not, have inertia.
What is the force called that keeps an object moving?
The force that keeps an object moving is called inertia. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion and is related to its mass.
Do objects have inertia only when they are moving?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. An object would have inertia while moving and also while at rest.
Inertia varies depending on?
the mass of an object. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. Additionally, inertia also depends on the velocity of the object - the faster an object is moving, the greater its inertia.
What measures an object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving?
An object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving is measured by its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. The greater the inertia, the harder it is to change the object's state of rest or motion.
How does the inertia of a moving object determine its ability to speed or slow down?
The inertia of a moving object determines its resistance to changes in its state of motion. An object with more inertia will be harder to speed up or slow down compared to an object with less inertia. This is because a higher inertia requires more force to change the object's velocity.
Would it be correct to say that inertia causes moving object to continue moving?
Yes, it is correct to say that inertia causes a moving object to continue moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it will continue moving unless acted upon by an external force.
What are components of inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of a moving object to remain moving. I am not aware of any "components".
What is the inertia of non moving objects?
Non-moving objects have inertia because they resist changes in their state of motion. The inertia of an object is directly related to its mass – objects with more mass have more inertia. This means that a non-moving object with more mass will require more force to start moving compared to an object with less mass.
What exactly is inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of motion of an object. The more inertia, the harder it is to move something. The less inertia, the easier it is to move. Take a bowling ball and a marble. The marble can be flicked by the finger, because it has less inertia. The bowling ball takes the entire hand because it has more inertia than the marble. According to Newton's laws, an object that is moving tends to continue in motion. A moving object has inertia as it has Mass and Velocity. An object that is not moving requires a Force exerted on the Mass to start it moving.
What is the tendecy of moving object when no forces act on it?
Inertia
What is the force you have to overcom to start an object moving?
Inertia
