an object at rest continues to be at rest ( inertia ) until an outside force is applied to begin motion : an object in motion continues in the same motion ( inertia ) until an opposing force is applied to change the direction ( vector ) or to stop the motion...the weight ( mass ) of the object is directly related to the amount of energy required to be motion, change motion or stop motion....

What is the relationship between heavy objects an inertia?

Nothing specifically. Inertia is a proprety of matter (as you may know from the Bill Nye the Science Guy intro), and just because there is more mass to an oject doesn't really mean that it would have more inertia. However, other forces such as friction and gravity are spread over an oject, so there would be more friction due to the mass and more downwards force because of gravity + the mass.


What is a sentence for inertia?

the ability of an object to resist friction is its inertia


Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds. Which will have the most inertia?

The one with the largest mass


Does a heavier object always have more inertia than a lighter object?

Inertia is "rotary momentum"; an object's ability to continue spinning when a decelerating force is applied.Just as a heavy object takes more effort to stop from the same speed as a light object, so does a heavy object take more effort to stop from turning at the same speed as a light object.So assuming they are turning at the same angular velocity, the heavier one has a larger inertia. Otherwise, remember that inertia is also proportional to angular velocity.


Why is it harder to stop a heavy object?

It is harder to stop a heavy object because it has more inertia, which means it resists changes in its state of motion. More force is required to stop a heavy object compared to a lighter one due to its mass.


Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds Which will have the most inertia?

The heavier object will have more inertia regardless of the speed at which they are traveling. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass, with heavier objects having greater inertia compared to lighter objects.


What does it mean to stay an object has an inertia?

It means the object has resistance to being acted on by an unbalanced force and moved. Like when you push something heavy, it doesnt move very far due to inertia. Inertia increases as Mass increases.


What is inertia and give examples?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. For example, a heavy object is harder to push or stop because it has more inertia. Inertia also explains why objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force.


Why does a heavy object travel further than a light object with same force?

A heavy object travels further than a light object when acted upon by the same force because it has more inertia and requires more force to stop it. This means the heavy object will maintain its momentum and cover a longer distance before coming to a stop, compared to the lighter object.


Why does a heavy thing go further than a lighter thing?

A heavy thing goes further than a lighter thing because it has more momentum and inertia, allowing it to overcome friction and air resistance more easily. This results in a heavier object maintaining its speed and traveling a greater distance.


What do you mean by 'mass'?

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object. It is a measure of an object's inertia, which is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion. In simpler terms, mass tells us how heavy an object is.


Is a igneous rock light or heavy?

inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
