A which mass has resistance to a force acting on it has inertia. Ah, but then the amount of inertia must be qualified based on other characteristics. So it's a tricky question. You could quickly say yes, but not always easy to quantify unless you know the force (in Newtons) that is required to change it from the state of rest to motion.

Gravity is a nice example of inertia using the force equation F= (Gm m')/r 2

Where G is the gravitational constant. m and m' are two masses, and r is the distance between them. F is the force required to move the objects toward each other, In the case of a large mass like earth a soccer ball is a small mass and if held by a player we know that there it has inertia, we know the force of gravity.

What is the definition of interia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object that is at rest to stay at rest or an object that is in motion to continue that motion.


How are mass and interia related?

Inertia refers to the resistance of an object when there is a change in the motion of the object. The more inertia the object has, the more mass it will have.


Does a resting object have momentum?

No, a resting object does not have momentum because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Since a resting object has zero velocity, its momentum is also zero.


What did newton call the force exerted by the second object on a second object?

Which has the most effect on an objects interia?

The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, and the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Do all objects have interia?

Yes, all objects have inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether it is at rest or in motion.


The tendency of a resting object to stay still is called?

The tendency of a resting object to stay still is called inertia. It is a property of matter where an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
