Question

Which of the following statements about inertia is true?
A. Inertia depends on velocity.
B. Inertia is a measurement of acceleration.
C. The inertia of a 2 kg bag of flour is greater than the inertia of a 4 kg flower pot. D. The inertia of a spaceship on Earth equals the inertia of the spaceship on the moon.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The inertia of a spaceship on Earth equals the inertia of the spaceship on the moon.

Explanation:

Inertia is the property of mass and it will directly depends on the value of mass of the object

So here inertia of object will change as the mass of the object will change

So here we can say

A. Inertia depends on velocity.

FALSE

As inertia is not a function of velocity

B. Inertia is a measurement of acceleration.

FALSE

it does not depends on acceleration

C. The inertia of a 2 kg bag of flour is greater than the inertia of a 4 kg flower pot.

FALSE

More mass means more inertia so 4 kg must have more inertia

D. The inertia of a spaceship on Earth equals the inertia of the spaceship on the moon.

TRUE

Since mass on Earth and Moon will be same so inertia must be same
