Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds. Which will have the most inertia?
The one with the largest mass
True or False Lighter objects have less inertia than heavy objects?
True. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
because if the heavy objects have a round bottom they will float
Why does a heavy thing go further than a lighter thing?
because of inertia if the mass of the object is more than inertia also be more
Why do heavy objects sink in quicksand?
objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster objects sink in quicksand because they are so heavy they make a bigger hole in the sand,they go faster

True. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
Why are wheeled useful for moving heavy objects?
Less surface area contacting the ground reduces friction. Wheels are useful for moving heavy objects so you don't hurt your back.
What is the relationship between heavy objects an inertia?
Nothing specifically. Inertia is a proprety of matter (as you may know from the Bill Nye the Science Guy intro), and just because there is more mass to an oject doesn't really mean that it would have more inertia. However, other forces such as friction and gravity are spread over an oject, so there would be more friction due to the mass and more downwards force because of gravity + the mass.
Why is it harder to overcome the inertia of a bowling ball than a baseball?
The only real way to answer this is to define the terms, then it should make sense. Mass - How much of something there is, and what its made of. A rock and a spunge may be the same size, but the rock has more mass. Gravity - The force of attraction between any two objects. Usually the Earth, and somthing else. Based on the masses of the two objects. Weight - The amount of force due to gravity. A rock on earth will weigh less on mars because the mass of mars is less than the mass of earth. This is also why you don't feel 'weight' between you and your cup of coffee. The masses of the two objects is much too small to be felt. This is the same thing as 'heavy,' just a different word. Inertia - Refers to how much energy you need to get an object moving. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. This is totally independent from gravity or weight. With those definitions, you should be able to figure it out. Bowling balls are heavier because they have more mass, and they are heavy because of gravity. Also, bowling balls have more inertia, because they have more mass.
Why do objects sink?
objects sink because they are to heavy.
Which of the following objects has the greatest inertia baseball bowling ball pencil or toothpick?
I think the golf ball has more inertia than ping pong ball, becuase of its weight. It is much heavy which result that it could stay at rest more, than a very lightweight ping pong ball.
Why is it inaccurate to say that all heavy objects will sink in water?
because if the heavy objects have a round bottom they will float
To obtain USB 3.0 speeds the wire in the cable construction is more heavy duty.?
To obtain USB 3.0 speeds the wire in the cable construction is more heavy duty.
Why does a heavy thing go further than a lighter thing?
because of inertia if the mass of the object is more than inertia also be more
What is the Average travel speed from springfield VA to Richmond VA?
Depends greatly on time of day. Morning and afternoon traffic can be very heavy and quite slow. Speeds will vary from Stop to 70 mph. Travel time can be for 1.5 to 3 hours.
Is a igneous rock light or heavy?
inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia
