Why does an astronaut have to exert a force on a weightless object in order to move it?
An astronaut has to exert a force on a weightless object in order to move it because in space, there is no gravity to naturally pull or push objects. Therefore, the astronaut must apply force to overcome inertia and move the object.
What word means the unwillingness of an object to move or if the object is moving to changethe speed or get it to stop?
The term you are looking for is "inertia." Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion or state of rest.
How can inertia be overcome?
Inertia can be overcome by applying an external force to an object. The greater the force applied, the quicker the object's inertia can be overcome. Once the external force is greater than the object's inertia, it will begin to move or change its speed/direction.
What is the difference between inertia and mass?
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion. Inertia depends on mass - the more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.
What type of force is needed to overcome the inertia of an object?
The type of force needed to overcome the inertia of an object is an external force. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so an external force is required to overcome this resistance and cause the object to move.

What exactly is inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of motion of an object. The more inertia, the harder it is to move something. The less inertia, the easier it is to move. Take a bowling ball and a marble. The marble can be flicked by the finger, because it has less inertia. The bowling ball takes the entire hand because it has more inertia than the marble. According to Newton's laws, an object that is moving tends to continue in motion. A moving object has inertia as it has Mass and Velocity. An object that is not moving requires a Force exerted on the Mass to start it moving.
What effect does inertia have on an objects at rest?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. For an object at rest, inertia will make it resist any external force applied to try to move it. The greater the inertia of an object, the more force is needed to overcome it and set the object in motion.
What is the definiton of inertia?
inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest, or to continue to move in the same direction at constant speed. [physics]
What is it called when the more of of this an object has the more force it takes to move it?
Mass or inertia.
What must overcome in order get to the car to move?
inertia
The natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with an constant velocity is called?
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object remains at a constant velocity unless it has an unbalanced force acting upon it. That constant velocity includes zero, which means that a stationary object with no force applied to it will not move. Since velocity includes direction, then a moving object with no force applied to it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed.That tendency is called inertia.
