is inertia a form of energy?

Question

homework question, i wasnt so sure

true/false

whoa my brain hurts im only in 9th grade lol

Answer 1

Not really, inertia is more of a tendency law. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, objects at rest stay at rest...unless acted on by an outside force.

It is related to energy but not a form

Answer 2

It should be emphasised that 'inertia' is a scientific principle, and thus not quantifiable. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, it is neither a force nor a measure of mass. In common usage, however, people may also use the term "inertia" to refer to an object's "amount of resistance to change in velocity" (which is quantified by its mass), and sometimes its momentum, depending on context (e.g. "this object has a lot of inertia"). The term "inertia" is more properly understood as a shorthand for "the principle of inertia as described by Newton in his First Law."

Answer 3

I'd have to go with false. Looks like a trick question. Inertia is a way to store energy but is not in itself energy. An example would be a flywheel.

Answer 4

Yes, inertia is a form of energy

Answer 5

Refer to Newton's First Law

An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

Objects "tend to keep on doing what they're doing." In fact, it is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.

Inertia = the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion.

Answer 6

u can say inertial is caused by weight. but then weight itself is not energy. but weight is effect of gravity on mass. gravity is form of energy. potential energy also involved on object with mass and height.

the answer is no. but can be energy indirectly.
