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.

Would more force be needed to stop a motorcyle or a semi truck?

More force would be needed to stop a semi truck than a motorcycle. This is because a semi truck is heavier and has more momentum, requiring more force to slow down or stop.


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?

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 has more inertia a large truck or a small car?

A large truck typically has more inertia than a small car because inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass. The greater mass of the truck means it will resist changes in its state of motion more than the smaller car.


Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?

because it has greater mass
