Inertia is the ability of the object to resist changes in the state of motion. It would be harder to push a cinder block and make it accelerate. Therefore, the cinder block has more inertia. The more mass, the more inertia.

∙ 12y agogenerally yes considering the weight of the normal cinder block being 22-28 lbs. and a normal Bowling ball being about 16 lbs. this will make it harder to move and stop a cinder block than a bowling ball. The only reason a cinder block would lose it's velocity is due to gravity, friction, and forces that act upon it due to
Newtons 3rd law
A pretty good answer Jordyrocky, however one must take into consideration that if the bowler wishes to break up the balls around the Jack, then the bowler must send their ball off at a fast pace and in doing so increase its inertia so that it equals or surpasses that of the inertia of the block. Remember Newton's 3rd law of motion. An object will keep on doing what it is doing unless acted upon by another force. The other force in this case is the power behind the bowlers arm.
However if you wanted to move the cinder block at the same velocity you would be required to apply more kinetic energy towards it than the bowling ball

Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?
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
Is Eldfell volcano a cinder cone volcano?
No. A cinder cone volcano is relatively small, short lived volcano. The yellowstone volcano is a supervolcano. It does not fit into the more common classes.
Is a cinder cone volcano small?
it can be as samll a 700 feet and as big as 1000 feet or more
What can you say about the gas inside a balloon?
The gas inside of a balloon is less dense than the air outside of it if the balloon floats. If the balloon does not float the density of the gas inside of it is equal to or more dense than that around it.
Which object has more inertia a desk or a car?
Whichever of them has the greater mass. Has.
What weighs more a penguin or a cinder block?
Depends on the penguin, also the cinder block. An adult Emperor penguin is about 88 pounds on average, but an Adelie penguin is 11 pounds. A cinder block is pretty close to 50lbs at most
8 x 8 x 16 cinder block weigh?
There are many kinds of cinder block depending on what it's made for. They differ in many respects as to what exactly goes in the mix. -The average for the size you are enquiring about is 45 pounds, but specific types could be less or more.
The larger the mass the inertia?
Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.
What statements about inertia is correct?
the more mass a body has the more inertia it has
Can you inflate a balloon in a bottle?
No, but you can build a snowman. Yes, you can inflate a balloon in a bottle, although it is more difficult than inflating a balloon that is not in a bottle. The only problem that this presents is that it is possible for the balloon to block the opening of the bottle so that air will be trapped between the balloon and the bottle, which would prevent the inflation of the balloon. However, if you use a drinking straw you can create an avenue for air to escape.
Do Objects with more mass have more inertia?
Yes, inertia=mass*velocity
Objects with more mass have less inertia?
no more, inertia is proportional to mass
What are cinder?
cinder cones are types of volcanos if you want to learn more look it up on http://Google.com
A cinder block floats in mercury and sinks in water?
this is because mercury is much denser than water . this means that there is more of it in a given amount of space then there is water in the same amount of space
Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?
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
What affects inertia?
Gravity affects inertia. The lower the gravity, the more inertia.
Is a bowling ball heavier than a cinder block?
There are two main reasons:A bowling pin, at around 3 lbs. 8 oz., is much lighter than even the lightest bowling ball, while the opposite is true for a cinder block.In addition, the odd shape of the pin (with its small base and larger middle) brings its center of gravity up off the floor much higher than a cinder block of equal height. This makes the pin far more likely to tip over when struck.
