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.
It was from Newton's first law of motion,that leads to the definition of inertia .
What else can I help you with?
How are the terms inertia and motion related?
The 1st modern theory of inertia was theorized by sir Isaac Newton in 1687. He said inertia = mass * acceleration. Acceleration is = to motion in this instance.
Does a 92 eagle summit have an inertia switch and if so where is it located?
No inertia switch.
What happens to inertia of an object if its mass decreased?
If the mass of an object decreases, its inertia will also decrease. Inertia is directly proportional to mass, so as mass decreases, so does inertia. This means the object will be easier to accelerate or decelerate.
Is it true that the larger the mass the smaller interia?
no. Inertia is directly proportional to mass. So twice the mass, twice the inertia, etc. So, the larger the mass, the greater the inertia.
Why is it said that mass is a measure of inertia?
This is related to Newton's Second Law. The more mass an object has, the more difficult it is to accelerate it; in other words, the more inertia it has.
Is gravity the opposite of inertia?
No, gravity is not the opposite of inertia. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other, while inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
Which has more inertia hammer or feather?
A hammer would hit the ground first because a hammer is heavier
Which has more inertia a 2kg brick or a 1kg brick?
The 2kg brick has more inertia than the 1kg brick. Inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass, so the higher the mass, the greater the inertia.
Is toast a inertia?
Yes. Toast is definitely "a inertia." (sic) In fact, anything on the earth's surface has inertia simply because the earth spins so fast.
Does Inertia act to everything?
Inertia is a characteristic of anything that has mass, so the answer may depend on how you define "everything."
Can inertia change with mass?
the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so to answer your ? yes inertia changes depending on mass :]
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
