The rotational inertia of an object increase as the mass and the distance of the mass from the center of rotation?

Answer #1:The Rotational Inertia of an object increases as the mass "increases" and thedistance of the mass from the center of rotation "decreases".=================================Answer #2:If Answer #1 were correct, then flywheels would be made as small as possible,and a marble would be harder to spin than a wagon wheel is.An object's rotational inertia (moment of inertia) increases in direct proportionto its mass, and increases in proportion to the square of the distance of themass from the center of rotation.


What object would have more inertia than a 5kg object?

An object with a higher mass would have more inertia than a 5kg object. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass - the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. So, any object that weighs more than 5kg would have more inertia.


Inertia in a sentence?

Inertia is, essentially, the body's resistance to change. An example sentence would be: Without inertia, we would be all over the place.


Does mass affect inertia?

inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.


How would zero gravity affect inertia?

In zero gravity, inertia would remain the same as in normal gravity. Inertia is a property of a body that causes it to resist changes in its motion, regardless of the presence or absence of gravity. Thus, objects in zero gravity would still exhibit the same resistance to changes in motion as they would in a gravitational environment.

How are momentum and inertia the same?

Momentum and inertia are actually different, inertia is the tendency a body has to maintain a state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by a external force momentum would be a impelling force or strength.


If all people move to the equator how would it affect Earth's rotational inertia?

The mass of the gasses that make up our atmosphere weigh much more than the human population (1 trillionth of the earths mass) and move opportunistically into dense and low density pockets in all positions at all times on the globe and they have absolutely no effect on the rotational inertia. Consider the earth is not a solid mass inside or out, it is basically a hydraulic dampener. Now if you could generate sufficient vibration waves in order to harmonically disrupt the fluid dampening effect it would be possible for the system to fault and the earth to throw a bulge.


How would you know tha an object has inertia?

Anything that has mass has inertia.


Does a shape have to be a regular polygon in order to have rotational symmetry?

A line segment would have rotational symmetry.

If a magnetic dipole is placed in a magnetic field the dipole is found to have both rotational and translational motion.what would you infer about the magnetic field?

If a magnetic dipole placed in a magnetic field exhibits both rotational and translational motion, it suggests that the magnetic field is not uniform. A non-uniform magnetic field will exert torque on the magnetic dipole, causing it to rotate, and may also impart a force causing translational motion. These observations can help characterize the spatial variation of the magnetic field.


Does inertia keep moving ahead?

Inertia is the property of matter to stay in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is altered by some force. Even on the moon, inertia is at work. For example, if you throw a ball on the moon, it would continue moving until the moon's gravity and the friction on the moon's surface brought it to rest. If the ball is on the ground, it will stay in place until a force acts upon it.


When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?

Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.


If the moon did not have inertia as it travled around the earthwhat would happen?

If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)
