The Earth's inertia is caused by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. This means that the Earth tends to resist changes in its motion due to its large mass.

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. :)


True or false Because of earths gravitational pull and their own inertia projectiles travel in a straight path?

False Because gravity is constantly pulling on the projectile while the projectile is trying to move forward in a straight line, the projectile will move in a CURVED path and fall down to earth.


What is the mass of inertia?

Intertia isn't something, as in there is no mass to it. Inertia is when I object is moving it wont stop until something causes it. Example: The eartch is moving because of inertia. There is no mass involved.

This tendency is known as inertia. Inertia is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their motion.

What is the resistance of matter to change in motion?

The resistance of matter to change in motion is known as inertia. Inertia is a property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their velocity, either in terms of starting, stopping, or changing direction. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of what two forces?

Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun, which causes the planet to move in an elliptical orbit, and the planet's inertia, which causes it to continue moving in a straight line.


What causes can to move in straight-line path?

Inertia - or the absence of any force making it change direction.
