An object weighs 300N on Earth and 50N on the moon Does the object also have less inertia on the moon?
No, inertia is dependant on mass not weight, weight is dependant on gravity.
Does the weight of earth change?
depending on how many poeple are born in that year it will influence the weight of the earth. also the fatter the people are the heavier the earth will be. this is why the goverment is constently trying to aware citizons of the problem of obesity.
How does the weight of the mass of an object change if it is on the moon?
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
How does the inertia hold the planets together?
interia cant hold planets together. here is the definition for INERTIA: Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.
Does a bowling ball on earth have more inertia than one on the moon?
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.
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?
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".
Property of matter that resist change?
Inertia inertia
Does inertia change with speed?
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.
How can the inertia of an object be determined?
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.
What is the effect of mass?
Inertia & weight.
Why does a high mass object under weightless conditions exhibit inertia?
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.
What is a sentence for the word inertia?
In physics, inertia is an object's resistance to any change in motion, such as a change in velocity.
Another term for resistance to change or a measure of mass is what?
"inertia"
What measures an object tendency to resist change in its motion?
Inertia.
What is a measure of gravitational force inertia mass volume weight?
weight
An objects resistance to change in motion?
Inertia. Inertia applies to both increases and decreases in velocity.
