Inertia resists acceleration. Inertia resists a change in the state of motion of a particle or rigid body.
For instance, in order for the state of motion of an object to change, there must be a net external force exerting on the object, which is defined as mass times acceleration. Resistance to this net external force would therefore have to resist the object's acceleration, and that is inertia.

What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?
Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.
Definition of acceleration?
increase rate in speed of acceleration
Rate of change of velocity?
That's the definition of 'acceleration'.
Another definition for acceleration?
Another definition for the word "acceleration" is "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time."
The increase of velocity over a period of time is?
Literally the definition of acceleration.
What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?
Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object-How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object?
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Definition of acceleration?
increase rate in speed of acceleration
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
Weight equals mass X acceleration of free-fall?
No, because acceleration of free fall is gravitational acceleration minus air resistance. Weight does not involve air resistance.
Rate of change of velocity?
That's the definition of 'acceleration'.
Another definition for acceleration?
Another definition for the word "acceleration" is "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time."
What does acceleration have to do with go karts?
Whenever a velocity changes, by definition you have an acceleration.
How is increasing speed acceleration?
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
Definition of mass and definition of weight?
Mass: The measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a force is applied.Weight: A body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
What is the skydriver's acceleration?
Initially 9.8 meters per second square. Later, as air resistance increases, the acceleration will be less and less.Initially 9.8 meters per second square.
