Does the inertia of an object change as the velocity changes?

Answer 1

INERTIA IS the amount of mass in a certain object.so the question is in fact does the mass of an object increase ?

according to enstien equation 2 energy can be transfered into mass, when the

e=mC

speed of an object increases its speed this meens that its energy also increases , by the equation its mass also increases

Answer 2

Inertia is not velocity, but along the same basis. Inertia is a law of physics. That which at rest will stay at rest until acted upon by an opposite motion, that which is in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an opposite motion.

Answer 3

Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an object changes its velocity.

Answer 4

Inertia is a function of mass so, no, inertia does not change as the velocity changes.

This is not strictly true, as mass changes when operating at relativistic speeds, but that requires the input of a large amount of energy using the Lorentz transformation and special relativity, something that the question probably did not intend to enter into.

Answer 5

Inertia can be described as momentum, which is a product of mass and velocity.

Answer 6

No, constant velocity implies constant speed.

But velocity can change even when speed remains constant, since speed is a scalar quantity but velocity is a vector quantity.

Answer 7

yes
