What is inertia and what determines how much i ntertia an object has?
the mass of the object determines the amount of inertia in an object
What physical quantity is a measure of the amount of inertia an object has?
mass
What is inertia dependent upon?
Inertia is dependent on the mass of the object being considered, and sometimes by its momentum - depending on how we are using the term. Recall that inertia is the resistance of a body to a change in motion. (A body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force. And, a body in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force.) We think of something massive as resistive to being moved. That's inertia. But it's not moving. If that same massive body is rolling, it will have a lot of momentum, and it will take a great deal of force to slow and stop it. In the first case, the object has no velocity, and will have no momentum. In the second case, it's moving, and it will have momentum.
What is it when an object resists any change in motion?
inertia. the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia. what do you call it when an object refuses a object in motion?
Why moment of inertia is also called rotational inertia?
Because it is a measure of the "resistence" of an object to be accelerated in its rotation. An object with a big moment of inertia is more difficult to increase/decrease its angular velocity (speed of rotation), than an object with a low moment of inertia.

How do you find amount of inertia?
the inertia of an object is proprtional to it's mass and the amount of force applied to the object.
What does a baseball rolling along the floor have?
A baseball rolling along the floor has inertia. The amount of inertia depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass or weight, the greater the inertia.
Amount of matter in an object or a the inertia of an object?

Amount of matter in an object or a measure or the inertia of an object?

How is inertia related to matter?
matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.
What is inertia and what determines how much i ntertia an object has?
the mass of the object determines the amount of inertia in an object
What does an objects inertia depends on?
It depends on the object's mass.
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.
