It's not the only reason, but the same force will produce less acceleration in a body with more inertia.

Why does a heavier person go down the slide faster?
because a heavier person has more inertia, and therefore the forces that work to slow the person down, i.e. friction, wind resistance, whatever, will have less effect on an object with more inertia than less inertia
Do bigger wheel roll faster?
No. Bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels. They roll slower because they have a larger circumference and they take longer to roll. Smaller wheels have a smaller circumference meaning they go faster.
What Are Some Examples of Things That go in order?
Numbers, letters, age
What Most directly affects mass?
Inertia. All mass, all of it, is affected by its own inertia. Because mass has inertia it takes force applied over time to change the velocity of that mass. Which is to say to change its speed, its direction, or both. And that has practical implications. If you want your car to start moving you need to add force to pushing it to overcome the car's inertia and get it accelerating for example. Or if you are going down one street and want to turn left onto another street you must add force to make that turn because, otherwise, the cor would go straight because of its inertia.
Would a toy car go faster or slower down a ramp with sandpaper compared to a ramp with no sandpaper?
-- Steeper ramp.-- Lower friction in the wheel and axle bearings of the car.-- Better aerodynamic streamlining of the shape of the car.-- Make the car of iron and conceal a large magnet at the bottom of the ramp.
How do you fly a aircraft on roblx?
press y to start it and x to stop it. some people added things over time like m to go faster and n to go slower.
What does ground delivery mean?
Means travels by ground shipment vs air and is slower. Some things like aerosol cans can't go by air.
How fast can a lorry go go?
It depends on the lorry, if it's heavier or carrying heavier things then it will have to travel slower. If it's lighter or carrying lighter things then it can travel faster.
How do yo make a sketch star slower?
To make your sketches slower or make one thing go slower is to copy it a little times. That's how you make go slower
What do you need to know about how and why things swing that will help your team win?
the heaviness of the person will make the swing go faster or slower
What is the physicall propierties of mas?
I assume you mean "mass".Mass is a property of an object that provides two things: * It provides the object with inertia. If an object has more mass, it is harder to accelerate the object (basically to make it go faster, or slower, or to change the direction of its movement). * It makes objects attract one another, through a force called gravity.
How do you change the time on a 2002 Trailblazer factory clock?
Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!! Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!!
Do marbles go further down a hill if the hill is steeper?
Yes, sometimes and no sometimes. In the case of rotating objects the more import value is moment of inertia. An object with a higher moment of inertia will accelerate slower (roll slower comparatively for any given time after release) down an inclined plane. In the case where the marbles are of equal diameter and uniform (although different if one is to have more mass) density the heavier marble will roll slower down a slope. For those interested in a short description followed by plenty of calculus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia
The swimmers go fast?
well, if they have a cap on, they can go faster. If you have clothes on, you will go slower than if you had a swimsuit on. If you are tired, you will go slower than if you were full of good energy.
If you are wearing football pads will you go faster or slower?
It will not make you go faster. It can make you go slower, Unless you are Strong enough that if won't hinder your speed.
What happen if the same objects are dropped under the same gravitational conditions?
one object will go slower and one object will go slower
And there were others who did not go anywhere but simply died slower What does this quote mean?
what does grant mean by,"and there were other who did not go anywhere but simply died slower"?
