Inertia and mass are just measurements of the same thing - a characteristic of matter (presumably set by interaction with the Higgs field.

Weight - on the other hand - is a measurement of the force of attraction between two masses. As normally used, one mass is the planet Earth.

Is weight of a body is a measure of inertia?

No, the weight of a body is a measure of the force of gravity acting on that body. Inertia, on the other hand, is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. While weight depends on the force of gravity, inertia depends on the mass of the object.


What is mass fundamentally related to?

Mass is fundamentally related to the amount of matter in an object. It is a measure of the inertia of an object, representing its resistance to acceleration.


Are mass and inertia directly or inversely related?

Mass and inertia are directly related. 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. This means that the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.


What is the Difference between weight and inertia?

inertial mass is the measure of the object's inertia i.e; if an object has less inertial mass ,then it changes its motion readily. if it has more inertial mass ,then, it does not change its motion readily. gravitational mass is of 2 types. active and passive.active gravitational mass is something like.... u see, active gravitational mass of moon < active gravitational mass of earth. and passive gravitational mass is the measure of the strength of the object's interaction with the gravitational field.


Which physical quantity is related to intersia?

The physical quantity related to inertia is mass. Mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its motion, and it is directly proportional to the object's inertia. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.

Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?

No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".

Does inertia vary with place just like weight?

Nope. While weight is proportional to both mass and the local gravitational field or acceleration, inertia (and by extension momentum) is related only to mass - and special types of inertia, such as rotational inertia, is related only to the distribution of mass (bunched up mass has less rotational inertia than the same amount of mass, only spread out).

Mass is fundamentally related to the amount of matter in an object. It is a measure of the inertia of an object, representing its resistance to acceleration.


The larger the mass the inertia?

Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.


What matter property is related to inertia?

i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....

Inertia & weight.


What is the difference between mass and weight and how are they related to each other?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Mass is a measure of inertia, while weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on an object. They are related because weight is dependent on mass and the strength of gravity. The formula to calculate weight is weight mass x gravity.
