No, the object's inertia remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth, despite weighing less due to the moon's lower gravity. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion, determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting upon it.
No, the mass of an object remains constant regardless of changes in gravity. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with gravitational influence. The weight of an object, however, can change with variations in gravity, as weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the object.
mass is constant 2kg on earth is 2kg on the moon. Weight depends on gravity. W = mg where g is grav. acceleration. Since gravity is less on the moon, then weight is less on the moon for the same object
The astronaut's inertia on the moon would be the same as on Earth, as inertia is an object's resistance to a change in motion. However, due to the moon's lower gravity, the astronaut would weigh less and experience a reduced force opposing their motion compared to Earth.
No, a bowling ball (or any other object) has exactly the same inertial mass no matter where it is (its actual inertia will, of course, depend upon its velocity as well as its inertial mass). Weight changes on the moon, but inertia doesn't.
Inertia is a measurement of the amount of energy needed either to start the object moving, or to slow down or stop its movement. This depends upon the mass (weight) of the object, but more particularly its change of speed. The greater the mass (weight) of the object the greater the amount of energy needed to move it and stop it.
No, the weight of a body is a measure of the force of gravity acting on that body. Inertia, on the other hand, is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. While weight depends on the force of gravity, inertia depends on the mass of the object.
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".
Inertia inertia
Inertia & weight.
That's because inertia does not depend on weight. An object's mass causes two effects: One is the gravitational interaction (force) with other masses. This is proportional to both masses (also, the force decreases with distance). The other is inertia - if an object has mass, then it requires an effort to change its velocity. Inertia depends on the mass - NOT on the weight. Weight also depends on the mass. However, weight also depends on the mass of other objects - for example, on Earth, our weight depends on the gravitational field of planet Earth.
No, the moment of inertia of an object does not change with a change in its center of mass. The moment of inertia depends on the mass distribution and shape of an object, not its center of mass.
In physics, inertia is an object's resistance to any change in motion, such as a change in velocity.
weight
As it turns out, inertial mass is equivalent to gravitational mass, so if you simply weigh an object, you can determine both its weight and its inertia. These are always in direct proportion; twice as much weight equals twice as much inertia. The main difference is that weight does change in different locations; an object can become weightless while in orbit, while inertia does not change. But here on the surface of the Earth, it is very simple to weigh an object and get a meaningful result which applies both to gravitational mass and inertial mass. If you were in orbit, then the problem becomes a bit trickier.
