The more speed an object possess, the more energy is needed to change that speed. Eg. a car going 100km/h will need more energy to stop than a car going 40km/h. The faster something is travelling, the more resistant it will be to a change in its motion (inertia).

What does the inertia of and object depend on?

An objects mass is a measure of its inertia.


What is inertia on which physical quantity does it depend?

Inertia is related to mass.


What does rotational inertia depend on?

Mass and radius


Does a train have less inertia than a car?

Inertia is related to speed and mass; a train is both faster and more massive than a car.


On what factor does the inertia of a body depend?

inertia simply depends upon mass.


What type of ball has a greater inertia?

The one with the greatest mass. In general, inertia is related to mass. Inertia = momentum = mass X speed (technically, velocity). The one with the greater speed (if equal masses).


Which is harder to stop vehicle greater mass or less mass?

The greater the mass the greater the inertia. Thus if both vehicles were travelling at the same speed the vehicle with the greater mass would have the most inertia and thus be the hardest to stop.


What does an objet's inertia depends on it?

Does Inertia act to everything?

Inertia is a characteristic of anything that has mass, so the answer may depend on how you define "everything."


How would zero gravity affect inertia?

Zero gravity does not affect inertia. The inertia of an object is an inherent property of the object and is directly proportional to the object's mass.


How does inertia affect gravity?

Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
