What is the relationship between mass and inertia of an object?

∙ 13y ago
The inertia of a body can be defined as the relunctance of a body to acceleration.
The mass of a body can be defined as a measure of the inertia of a body.
This is because acceleration = resultant force / mass.
So, if mass is greater, the less will be the acceleration of the body and hence the greater the inertia.

What is inertia and what determines how much i ntertia an object has?
the mass of the object determines the amount of inertia in an object
The amount of inertia an object has depends on its?
amount of inertia of body depends upon mass of that body
What is it when an object resists any change in motion?
inertia. the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia. what do you call it when an object refuses a object in motion?
What is the relationship between mass of a solid object and the volume?
There is no direct relationship between how much mass an object has and it's volume. That is, mass plays no part in calculating the volume, and volume plays not part in determining mass. However, they are related by the equation to calculate the density. Density=Mass/Volume.
Why does a semi truck have more inertia?
Inertia is a measure of how resistant an object's motion is to changing that motion, and is related to the mass of an object. Increase mass and inertia increases; decrease mass and inertia decreases. For an object to have greater inertia, it must therefore have greater mass. Semi- trucks are very massive vehicles, much more than others normally found, so they will have more inertia than anything else driven on roads. An average car or light truck might have a mass of 1 to 2 tonnes; semis usually have many tens of tonnes mass.
Is there a relationship between inertia and mass?
mass corresponds to inertia there isn't any mathematical relationship
What is the relationship between mass and inertia?
The inertia of an object is directly proportional to its mass. The greater the mass the greater the inertia and the lower the mass the lower the inertia. This tells us the fat person will have more inertia due to his greater mass and the thin person will have less inertia due to his lower mass.
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.
Is the relationship between mass and inertia positive or negative?
Yes, a positive relationship.
Does mass affect inertia?
inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.
How is mass associated with inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion. It is represented numerically by an object's mass. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.
How is inertia related to matter?
matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.
The greater the mass of an object the greater. is?
The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia
Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?
No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".
How are mass and interia related?
Inertia refers to the resistance of an object when there is a change in the motion of the object. The more inertia the object has, the more mass it will have.
How is inertia related to the objects mass?
The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. It is harder to change the motion of an object that has more mass.
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 :]
