Ok, possibly a stupid question. BUT could someone please explain the process of intertia to me, preferably how it is applied into todays science. i have looked on the net, but its only making things worse
sekar507 said:I agree tat inertia is not a quantity. but mass and shape of an defenitely plays a role in inertia.
Inertia is proportional to the objects mass. As the mass of the object increase, its inertia also increases. tats y u find it difficult to stop a moving object which is of more weight rather than a object of lesser weight.
Inertia is a physical property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their state of motion. It can be thought of as a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration.
Inertia is caused by an object's mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has and the harder it is to change its state of motion.
Inertia is measured in terms of an object's mass. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has, and the harder it is to change its state of motion. The standard unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) is the kilogram (kg).
Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that inertia is what keeps objects in their state of motion unless an external force is applied.
Inertia affects all objects, regardless of their size or mass. However, objects with more mass have more inertia and are harder to move or stop compared to objects with less mass. This is why it takes more force to move a heavy object compared to a lighter one.
