What object has the least amount of inertia?

What object has the least amount of inertia?

The brick that offers the least resistance is the brick with the least inertia – and therefore the brick with the least mass (i.e., the Styrofoam brick).

Which of the following has the objects in order from greatest inertia to least inertia?

Inertia is an object’s resistance to a change in motion; like how easy or difficult it is to get an object at rest to move. In order of least to greatest: pencil, cell phone, textbook, student, milk cow.

Does a car at rest have inertia?

As a more familiar example of inertia, think about riding in a car. You and the car have inertia. If the car comes to a sudden stop, your body tends to keep moving forward. When the car starts moving again, your body tends to stay at rest.

What does not affect inertia?

Inertia is not a force; Inertia is not affected by gravity because inertia is directly related to mass, which changes if the amount of matter making up the object changes.

What is the difference between inertia and mass?

c. False – Inertia is NOT a force. Inertia is simply the tendency of an objects to resist a change in whatever state of motion that it currently has. Put another way, inertia is the tendency of an object to “keep on doing what it is doing.”. Mass is a measure of an object’s inertia.

Which object would not have inertia in a gravity-free environment?

An object would not have any inertia in a gravity-free environment (if there is such a place). Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist motion and ultimately stop. In a gravity-free environment (should there be one), a person with a lot of inertia would have the same ability to make a turn as a person with a small amount of inertia.

What is the difference between force and inertia?

List all that apply. Inertia is a force. Inertia is a force which keeps stationary objects at rest and moving objects in motion at constant velocity. Inertia is a force which brings all objects to a rest position. All objects have inertia. A more massive object has more inertia than a less massive object.

Which statement is true about a less massive object?

True – A less massive object has less inertia and as such would offer less resistance to changes in their velocity. For this reason, a less massive object requires less force to bring from a state of motion to a state of rest. j. True – The weight of an object is the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity of the object.
