An object's inertia is measured by measuring its what?
An objects mass is a direct measurement of its inertia.
Is inertia physical quantity?
Yes, because it can be measured.
What is the SI unit of inertia of a body?
Inertia can be measured by an object's mass. That would make the SI unit the kilogram.
Is inertia a property of matter?
Yes. It is measured by the amount of mass.
Can inertia be measured in terms of numbers?
Inertia is a property of mass, and since mass can be measured (normally by kilograms) then inertia can also be measured. All scientific measurements are done with numbers, that is what we mean when we say that we measure something. If you are going to estimate a size without using numbers (as in, that's a really big apple) that is not a measurement.
What measures how hard it is to slow or stop an object?
It all depends on its acceleration, velocity, speed and its mass. The faster somthing goes, the more time it takes to slow down. To slow the same onject down fater, more force has to be applied in the opposite direction. A less massive object [lighter] takes less time to slow down than a more massive object [heavier].
The measure of mass is ...?
In SI (the International System), mass is measured in kilograms.
What do you measure to find an objects inertia?
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)
How do you decide the object which has the highest moment of inertia out of two objects?
Just moment of inertia is incomplete requirement as the axis about which it is to be measured is also very important
What is a measure of an object's inertia?
His mass.
How is force related to inertia?
Inertia can be measured in units of mass, that is, in kilograms. They are related via Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration.
Inertia what does it mean?
Inertia is the inherent property of a body that makes it oppose any force that would cause a change in its motion. A body at rest and a body in motion both oppose forces that might cause acceleration. The inertia of a body can be measured by its mass, which governs its resistance to the action of a force, or by its moment of inertia about a specified axis, which measures its resistance to the action of a torque about the same axis.
