How does mass affect an objects inertia?
A massive object has greater inertia. It requires more force to slow it down or change it's course. Example: It takes much more force to stop a train than it does to stop a car, only because the train has much greater mass.
Does a train have less inertia than a car?
Inertia is related to speed and mass; a train is both faster and more massive than a car.
What items have the most inertia while at rest?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to continue to move, or stay at rest, unless affected by an externalÊforce. Inertia is related to the mass of an object so objects with greater mass have more inertia.
If car 1 has a greater inertia than car 2 then car 1 has?
has a greater mass than car 2
Which has more interia a car with 900 kg or a car with 1500 kg?
1500kg. "Inertia" is a measurement of resistance of an object to a change of it's motion. Oversimplified, a train has more inertia than a car. The more mass, the more inertia, it applies to acceleration and deceleration equally. Galileo demonstrated inertia before Newton's "First Law of Motion" Here is the interesting part: It does not require force to keep an object in motion. Rather, it is a force that brings an object to rest. That being friction. Inertia must not be confused with momentum, they are two different things in physics.
Which object has more inertia a desk or a car?
Whichever of them has the greater mass. Has.

Does a speeding car or a jet on a runway have more inertia?
A speeding car and a jet on a runway would have roughly the same amount of inertia, as both objects have mass and are in motion. Inertia is a property of an object that resists changes in its motion, and is directly proportional to the object's mass. Therefore, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia.
Does a train have less inertia than a car?

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.
How is a car affected by inertia if it's moving?
A moving object tend to stay in motion-law of inertia.
A tractor trailer truck and a car are traveling at exactly the same speed and both drivers apply equal braking force at exactly the same moment Does the truck have greater inertia or less inertia?
All you need to know to answer this question is whether the truck is heavier than the car. Assuming this is true, yes, the truck does have a greater inertia. Inertia is related directly to mass, so because m_truck > m_car, inertia_truck > inertia_car. Generally, inertia refers to the ability to change the velocity of an object.
Why do you fall farward in the car when the car stops?
It is the law of inertia bringing you forward while the car stops, the law of inertia states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?
because it has greater mass
