Inertia is a term used to describe how difficult it is to stop an object that is in motion, such as football players charging toward the goal line.
Which player would be harder to stop, A ( the man who weigh about 350 pounds) or B (the boy who weighs about 100 pounds)?
Think!
If I had a choice, I’d try to stop the boy who weighs less. The heavier man most likely would knock me down and keep on going.
Heavy objects that are in motion are much harder to stop than are lighter objects, and this is because heavier objects have more inertia.
Inertia is a term used to describe how difficult it is to move a stationary object.
Which would be easier to move, A (the elephant) or B (the kitten)?
Think!
Even baby elephants can weigh from 165 to 230 pounds when born, while kittens average about 3 pounds at birth.
So, which would be easier to move, A (an elephant) or B (a kitten)?
My choice would be the kitten, which weighs less. Object that have a larger weight are harder to move, so they have more inertia.
