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.

What most directly affects an object's weight?

An object's weight is most directly affected by the force of gravity acting on it. The weight of an object is the force with which it is attracted towards the center of the Earth due to gravity.


How do weight and mass relate to each other?

Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.


Which of these has the most effect on an objects inertia?

The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and this resistance is directly proportional to the object's mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.


How does weight and mass affect friction?

Weight affects friction by increasing the force pressing the surfaces together, resulting in more friction. Mass does not directly affect friction, but it influences the normal force, which in turn affects friction. Generally, higher weight or mass leads to higher friction.

How does mass affecet speed?

Mass doesn't affect speed directly; it only affects momentum and acceleration directly. The equations are Force = mass x acceleration. The heavier it is, the more force you have to exert to accelerate something. The other one is momentum = mass x velocity (or speed). The more mass something has, the lower the momentum. But the point I'm trying to make here is that it affects speed in the end -- the more mass something has, the less the speed -- but that's IN THE END. It doesn't really affect it directly, but indirectly. Sorry for not being able to make that more clear.


How the temperature affects the density?

Temprature affects the volume, since most objects expand when they are heated. And density is mass / volume.

What objects have the most intertia?

Inertia is related to mass; you might say that inertia IS mass. The objects which have the most inertia are the most massive objects. Those are also the heaviest objects, since mass affects weight.
