Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
How does inertia help us?
Inertia deals with an objects reluctance to change its velocity. So if its not moving, you will have to exert a large force to get it to move. But once it is in motion, its inertia helps it move by lowering the breaking effect of resistance. If you throw a bowling ball through a grass field, it will go father than a beach ball thrown in a similar manner, because the bowling ball has more inertia!!
What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?
momentum is velocity multiplied by weight so if a small car weighs less than a large truck then it just needs to go faster to aquire the same momentum.
Which term refers to large masses of slowly moving ice?
glaciers
Which Australian mammal swallows large amounts of soil with its food?
Greater Bilby
Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?
because it has greater mass
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
How does mas affect the inertia of an object?
if there is large mass its harder to get moving and harder to stop than an object that has less mass.
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy?
The truck - greater mass.
What does the mass of an object tell you about its inertia?
An object with a large mass is harder to get moving and harder to stop than an object with less mass. I hope this helps
What terms used to describe a body's resistance to change in motion?
Inertia. The larger the mass of the body the larger its inertia, in other words a heavy object would require a large driving force to make it initially move and a large force as well to make it stop moving or change direction.

Which has greater inertia a large mass or a small mass?
A large mass. The traditional view is to refer to inertia in terms of Newton's First Law of Motion. However, it became common for Physicists to use the mathematically more useful Newton's 2nd Law of Motion to describe inertia in terms of how difficult it is to change the momentum of a body. The 2nd Law of Motion tells us that Force = Mass x Acceleration. "Inertia" in this context is thus directly proportional to the body's mass.

Why do fast-moving predators need a large amount of food?
Fast-moving predators need a large amount of food because they burn more energy when thy are hunting. They need more food, to supply the greater amount of energy they use.
When people are pushing on a large rock and its starts to rollwhat do you know about the forces acting on the rock?
that they are greater than the forces keeping the rock from moving...
What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?
Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.
