Which law is associated with inertia?

Newtons first. :^D


Which of newtons laws is also referred to as the law of inertia?

Newton's first law is also referred to as the law of inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.


An object tendacy to resist any change in motion is called?

This tendency is known as Inertia.


What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?

Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.


Is the relationship between mass and inertia positive or negative?

The relationship between mass and inertia is positive. This means that as mass increases, inertia also increases. Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in its motion, and it is directly proportional to mass according to Newton's first law of motion.
