No. What we call 'inertia' is actually a manifestation of the object's mass,

which doesn't change (as long as the object isn't moving at some serious

fraction of light speed).

What is the resistance of matter to change in motion?

The resistance of matter to change in motion is known as inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their velocity, either in terms of starting, stopping, or changing direction. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.


What resist change in velocity?

Objects with greater mass resist changes in velocity more than light objects. Additionally, objects with higher inertia or momentum also resist changes in velocity. Friction and air resistance can also act to resist changes in velocity.


If you have increased the momentum of a moving object without increasing its inertia then you have?

Increased its velocity. By not changing its mass (inertia) and increasing its momentum, the only variable left to change is velocity in the equation momentum = mass x velocity.


Do Objects with more mass have more inertia?

Yes, objects with more mass have more inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object. Objects with greater mass require more force to change their motion compared to objects with lesser mass.


What is related to how much force is needed to change an objects motion?

The concept related to the amount of force needed to change an object's motion is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. Objects with more mass have greater inertia and require more force to change their motion.

How does a change in mass affect the motion of objects?

A change in mass affects the motion of an object by altering its inertia. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia and require more force to accelerate or decelerate compared to objects with lesser mass. As a result, changes in mass can affect how quickly and easily an object can change its velocity.


Do objects have inertia only when they are moving?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. An object would have inertia while moving and also while at rest.
