on which factor does inertia of rest depend
Answers
Explanation:
Inertia depends on density and mass.
Answer:
Inertia simply means things carry on moving with constant velocity unless acted on by an external force. This is true for all masses. It is not more true for large masses. You can’t have more or less inertia because things move at constant velocity or they don’t.
It is a bit like saying oxjgen is a gas. Larger volumes of oxygen is not more gaseous. A material is a gas or it isn’t.
People will answer saying larger masses have more inertia. They are confused. They need to consider what is the difference between mass and inertia. They struggled to explain the difference and have even see people answer “not much”.
If they think it is the same as mass - then we already have a well defined word ‘mass’. If it is different - we need a clear definition so that we can understand the difference. This is why there are som many questions about inertia - students dont understand it because they are taught nonsense.
