The inertia of an object is not affected either by its velocity or its acceleration.

Inertia is a thought that describes the tendency of an merchandise to stand up to a transformation in its velocity (i.e. to develop up). Inertial mass is a diploma of this "resistance" and is defined in newton's 2d regulation F=ma, the place F is the tension appearing on the object (a vector), a is the products acceleration (a vector), and m is the inertial mass (a scalar). So products develop up provided that acted upon via a tension, by using fact the lorry stops that is accelerating (changing its velocity) by using tension the line applies to the tires. If no tension acts upon products interior the lorry they'll proceed to circulate forward with consistent velocity. as an occasion, as quickly as we are in a motor vehicle that forestalls unexpectedly our seat belt can grant the tension to develop up us to a end, without the seat belt we'd proceed to circulate forward with consistent velocity (till some thing forces us to end, like the windscreen or steerage wheel...) And further unsecured products would tend to maintain shifting forward while the lorry stops unexpectedly (everywhere interior no longer in basic terms in the back). This habit is in finished contract with Newton's 2d regulation. (that is what I presume is meant via the word "regulation of inertia", there's no "regulation of inertia")

Your question is directly answered by Newton's first law of motion. Which states, that the objects continue their state of inertia unless distrubed by external forces. An object moving with constant velocity has constant inertia, because there are no external forces (Acceleration in your example) are acting on the body.

Not classically. The inertial mass is a constant. However in relativity (when the velocity is large) the inertial mass changes.
