    Inertia is the resistance to changes in motion. It is proportional to mass. Big masses resist changing their motion more than smaller masses. A large train resists changing its motion. A small baby carriage has very little resistance.

    *All moving objects have inertia

    In this lab, you will be measuring the distance that a toy car travels after going
    down ramps. You will need: toy cars of different masses, a ramp, and measuring tape.
    One at a time, set each car down the ramp. Record the distance the car travels after it
    reaches the bottom of the ramp.

    Inertia is the resistance to changes in motion. Inertia is proportional to mass.


    Big masses resist changing their motion more than smaller masses.

    A large train resists changing its motion.Since the train is so huge, it is difficult
    to change its speed. In fact, a large net force is required to change its speed or
    direction.

    A small baby carriage has very little resistance to changes in motion.Since the
    baby carriage is so small, it is very easy to change its speed or direction. A small net
    force is required to change its speed or direction.

    What is the difference between inertia and momentum, you may ask? Inertia is
    proportional to mass. It is a measure of the resistance to changes in
    velocity.Momentum is mass times velocity.

    Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an


    object changes its velocity.
