Question
two elephants, one large and one small, are at rest. which one has more inertia a what does this mean if you try to push them? the small elephant has more inertia, so its easier to move. the large elephant has more inertia, meaning a larger unbalanced force is needed to make it move. they both have the same inertia because they are both at rest. the large elephant h less inertia, so its harder to move.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. A large elephant has more mass than a small elephant. According to Newton's first law, a larger unbalanced force is required to change the state of motion (from rest to moving) of an object with more inertia.
