Inertia is the property of matter that causes it to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass relate to inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Can an object at rest have inertia?

Back

Yes, an object at rest has inertia and will resist any change to its state of rest.

Front

What happens to the inertia of an object if its mass increases?

Back

The inertia increases as the mass increases.

Front

Give an example of inertia in everyday life.
