If an object has more momentum, it has either a greater mass or a greater velocity.

If an object has less inertia, it has less mass.

So am object with less inertia will accelerate faster than one with greater momentum because of a greater mass, assuming the same force of acceleration is applied to both.

However, if the greater momentum is due to greater velocity, not enough information has been provided to answer the question.

Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?

An object with more momentum will have more inertia. Inertia is the ability to resist a change in force; objects with higher masses and higher speeds will have greater inertia. Speed * mass = momentum


What is the inertia of motion?

Inertia of motion is the resistance mass has to motion. It also is the resistance in change in momentum. Momentum includes two things: velocity and direction. When an object changes its velocity, the momentum of the object resists the change. Also, when an object does change its velocity, its momentum is directly changed. In general, the inertia of motion is matter's unwillingness to change velocity or momentum.


The product of an object's rotational inertia and its rotational velocity is?

The object's angular momentum


What causes inertia and momentum to increase?

Force applied to the object


If you have increased the momentum of a moving object without increasing its inertia then you have?

increased the velocity of the object


What property that a moving object has due to its mass and velocity?

The property you are looking for is the objects momentum. Momentum = Mass * Velocity.


Why is the heavier object harder to accelerate than the lighter one?

Inertia


Does inertia vary from place to place?

Inertia does not vary from place to place. Inertia is simply the tendency of an object to resist changing its state. Inertia (and, by extension, momentum) only vary in relation to the mass of an object, not where the object is located.


Does an object moving at a constant speed have momentum?

Yes. An object moving at all in any direction at any speed has momentum due to inertia.


What measures how hard it is to slow or stop an object?

It all depends on its acceleration, velocity, speed and its mass. The faster somthing goes, the more time it takes to slow down. To slow the same onject down fater, more force has to be applied in the opposite direction. A less massive object [lighter] takes less time to slow down than a more massive object [heavier].


Can any object with zero mechanical energy have momentum?

no,it also cant have inertia


Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?

Inertia is a property of matter in which an object resists a change in motion.
