Inertia is a measure of how resistant an object's motion is to changing that motion, and is related to the mass of an object. Increase mass and inertia increases; decrease mass and inertia decreases. For an object to have greater inertia, it must therefore have greater mass.
Semi- trucks are very massive vehicles, much more than others normally found, so they will have more inertia than anything else driven on roads. An average car or light truck might have a mass of 1 to 2 tonnes; semis usually have many tens of tonnes mass.

Do you have less inertia in outer space?
No you more inertia in outer space than anywhere else.
How does inertia affect the speed of an object?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia. The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its motion. Thats is how inertia effects and object. (Don't worry I got this from my Science Textbook)
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.
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
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?
Which has more inertia a motorcycle or a truck?
I think the truck has more inertia because ethe motorcycle seems less dense than the truck.
What has more inertia a car a truck a scooter a bike or a truck?
k
Why does a semi truck have more momentum than a bicycle?
A parked semi truck has no momentum. A moving bicycle does. If both the bike and the truck are moving at the same speed in the same direction, the truck will have more because it has more mass.
How is a semi-truck registration?
Expensive and more complicated.
Does a semi truck have a gvwr of 26001 pounds or more?
Yes. A Class 7 single axle straight truck exceeds the 26000 lb. GVWR. A semi truck is a Class 8 truck.
Would a dump truck have more inertia than a go kart?
Yes
Who invented the Semi-truck?
Who invented the Semi-truck?
Can a semi truck kill a garbage truck?
If the semi truck knocked on the garbage truck, yes.
Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?
because it has greater mass
What is the name of vehicle that has 18 wheels?
A vehicle with 18 wheels is commonly known as a "semi-truck" or "tractor-trailer."
What has more inertia a truck or soccer ball?
A truck is heavier, has more mass. So at the same speed, the more massive object has more inertia. A scientific word for inertia is Momentum, defined as mass times speed, and is equal to force times time. So a 1 kilogram mass operated on by a 1 Newton force for 1 second would move at 1 metre per second and would have a momentum of 1 kg-N.
What does the semi in semi truck refer to?
Semi-articulated
