What would happen if only inertia as only acting on earth?
If only inertia were acting on Earth, the planet would continue in its current state of motion in a straight line at a constant speed. It would not experience any acceleration or changes in direction. The absence of other forces, such as gravity, would cause Earth to move in a linear motion indefinitely until acted upon by an external force.
Inertia in a sentence?
Inertia is, essentially, the body's resistance to change. An example sentence would be: Without inertia, we would be all over the place.
Why would you say coriolis force is very important to earth?
because if we didnt have a force when we look to the ground it would look like we falling
Would a massless object fall?
As per Law of Gravitation, there is no gravitational force on a massless object, so it will not accelerate. But mass-less object does not exist. It should have some mass and all objects fall down on earth with same acceleration irrespective of their mass(if air resistance is neglected).
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 would playing a game of soccer baseball or basketball be different if inertia didnt exist?
well, assuming that the world wouldnt break if we didnt have inertia, in baseball, when you tried to catch a ball you would probably go flying backwards until other things stopped you (friction etc). you also probably wouldnt be able to run without the earth going all out of its path around the earth. every step you would take would push the earth because there is no inertia to keep the earth at one point
What if there was no inertia between the earth and sun?
then there would be no movement
How would earth be different if we didnt have air?
There would be no life on Earth
What happens if the moon doesn't have inertia as it travels around the earth?
If the moon doesn't have inertia, it means that if any force whatsoever is applied to it, it will be way out of wack. Inertia causes something to be resistant against a change in motion so if the moon had too much inertia, it would not move at the proper speed and Earth would be affected by its drop in movement. If the moon had no inertia, it wouldn't continue to keep its proper and exact distance from the earth and Earth would be affected by its increase in movement.Hope this helps!! =)
When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
What would have happened if Helen didnt consult Holmes?
the snake would have killed her
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
If gravity or inertia stop working what would happen to the earth?
If gravity and Inertia stopped working the planet would fly or float away from he sun and get EXTREMELY cold. And everything will die.
What would happen if we didnt know what happened in the past?
History will repeat itself.
Why do you land in the same spot if the earth is rotating?
Inertia. We move along with the Earth. A force would be required to pull us back.
What would happen if only gravity acted on earth?
We would go into the sun because we don't have any inertia.. We would die
What would happen if the inertia of the earth was increased without he sun's gravity increasing?
Inertia is measured by an object's mass. The Earth would still go around in the same orbit, because the orbit does not depend on the mass of a planet. "Inertia" is sometimes used to mean "momentum". That's mass times velocity. If the Earth's velocity increased then it would move further from the Sun. <<>> The point is that "inertia" is a nonscienific word that is used to describe different things by different people and it's best to use "mass" or "momentum" depending on what is meant.
