An object's inertia is measured by measuring its what?
An objects mass is a direct measurement of its inertia.
Why is mass used to represent inertia?
Because after much investigation, experiment, and experience, in laboratories of Physics all over the world, it has been determined that there is more inertia where there is more mass, and less inertia where there is less mass. Moreover, through careful measurement, it has been possible to quantify the relationship, and to demonstrate, analytically and conclusively, that intertia is precisely and directly proportional to mass, and that where there is no mass, inertia is zero. Be that as it may, and when all is said and done, it became clear that mass is like unto no other quantity as a worthy and proper surrogate for inertia.
What is property of things to resist changes in motion is called?
Inertia
How are inertia weight and mass related?
Inertia and mass are just measurements of the same thing - a characteristic of matter (presumably set by interaction with the Higgs field. Weight - on the other hand - is a measurement of the force of attraction between two masses. As normally used, one mass is the planet Earth.
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.
An object's inertia is measured by measuring its what?
An objects mass is a direct measurement of its inertia.
Can inertia be measured in terms of numbers?
Inertia is a property of mass, and since mass can be measured (normally by kilograms) then inertia can also be measured. All scientific measurements are done with numbers, that is what we mean when we say that we measure something. If you are going to estimate a size without using numbers (as in, that's a really big apple) that is not a measurement.

What are the kinds of inertia?
There are actually 3 kinds of inertia. They are as follows : 1. Inertia of Rest 2. Inertia of Motion 3. Inertia of Direction But nowadays people consider that there are 2 kinds of inertia , inertia of rest and inertia of motion.

Inertia
Inertia can be categorized as?
Resting Inertia and Moving Inertia

What is a inertia?
There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.
Is voltage the force that causes motion?
no, the force that causes motion is called inertia, while yes voltage is needed to make things work, it is also a unit of measurement for electricity.
What is associated with inertia?
Inertia is associated with mass
What is the application of the law of inertia and motion of law of inertia?
the Law of Inertia state
