What are some examples of inertia?
What is the ability of an object to resist changes in motion?
What would happen if the Moon moved faster?
What is an object resisting a change in motion?
An object will resist any change to its motion whether it is at rest or in motion. This resistance is called inertia. (Inertia- the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.)
What causes a resist in change in motion?
Remember inertia is the resistance an object has to a change in it's state of motion. Forces aren't need to keep an object in motion, rather forces are needed to bring an object to rest. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion depends on it's mass; the more mass something has the more inertia it has.
Is an objects resistance to changing its motion?
The resistance to change the state of an object's motion is called inertia. Inertia depends on the mass of an object.
What can resist motion?
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects; friction can cause objects to slow down. Air resistance is a type of friction. Air resistance causes moving objects to slow down.
What are the forces that resist change?
What are the top causes of resistance to change?Mistrust and lack of confidence.Emotional responses.Fear of failure.Poor communication.Unrealistic timelines.
What happens when the force you apply to an object is the same as the acceleration of an object?
If the force you apply to an object is the same than the acceleration of an object DECREASES as the mass of the object INCREASES.
Why is 25 quarters more than 1 quarter?
25 quarters because 25 quarters has more mass than 1 quarter. An object with a large mass has more inertia than an object with a smaller mass.
What is the difference between an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
How long does an object stay in motion?
An object at motion will stay in motion FOREVER unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. In many cases, that unbalanced force is friction.
What is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion?
Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion.
What is Newton's third law of motion?
Newton's Third Law of Motion A forward action force is exerted by the frog on the lily pad and an equal backward force is exerted by the lily pad on the frog.
How much force does a 3,000 kg cannon ball have?
A 3,000 kg canon ball is shot from a cannon by a force of 25,000 N. What is the acceleration of the cannon ball?
What are some examples of inertia?
Examples of Inertia: 1. A person is pedaling their bike and suddenly hits the front brakes and their body continues to move and they fly over the handle bars. 2. A person is riding a jet ski in a straight line and suddenly turns the handles and their body continues moving in a straight line at the same speed as they are thrown from the jet ski.
What is the ability of an object to resist changes in motion?
Inertia. Inertia is an object's ability to resist changes in motion. In other words, it is the tendency of an object to continue moving in a straight line at the same speed until friction or some other object slows it down or makes the object change direction.
What would happen if the Moon moved faster?
4. If the moon began to move faster in its path around the Earth, it would move too fast to stay in orbit and go hurdling into out space.
