Turtle Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 ___The inertia of very large gyroscopes is used in ships to stabalize them in the sea. Quote
infamous Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 Application of the brakes to more quickly overcome the inertia of an automobile by friction between the tires and the surface of the roadway. Quote
sciman55 Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 I have another question. Force changes direction and speed, but it also changes shape. If inertia resists acceleration caused by forces, can it also resist change in shape? Quote

arkain101 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Trying to throw a boulder. The boulder does not want to be "changed". So we struggle to not only pick it up, but also to throw it. Its inertial mass is the mass that is hard to throw. The gravitational mass is the mass that is hard to pick up. Each mass is the same thing. Quote
