Inertia of a body has direct dependence on :

  1. Velocity

  2. Volume

  3. Mass

  4. Density


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mass is called as transnational inertia of body.

So option C is correct. 

A tennis ball and a cricket ball, both are stationary. To start motion in them

  1. a less force is required for the cricket ball than for the tennis ball

  2. a less force is required for the tennis ball than for the cricket ball

  3. same force is required for both the balls

  4. nothing can be said


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to Newton's laws of motion, an object with more mass requires more force to change the current state. Since, a cricket ball is heavier than a tennis ball, therefore, less force is required to start motion in tennis ball than in cricket ball.

The tendency of a body to resist acceleration is called:

  1. Force

  2. Retardation

  3. Inertia

  4. mass


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion, including changes to its speed and direction. It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity.

The term mass refers to the same physical concept as:

  1. weight

  2. inertia

  3. force

  4. acceleration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The mass can be described as inertia of object which resist its changes in state of motion and rest. Hence correct answer is B.

The mass of an object is a $\underline{                     }$ measure of inertia:

  1. quantitative

  2. qualitative

  3. absolute

  4. average


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

Who proposed the concept of Inertia ? 

  1. Gallileo

  2. Newton

  3. Pascal

  4. Einstein


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Galileo Galilei first proposed the concept of inertia. Inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

Inertia of a body depends on:

  1. Mass of the body

  2. Velocity of the body

  3. Acceleration of the body

Inertia is associated with mass. Objects having more mass have more inertia.

State whether given statement is True or False.
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity?

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, when external unbalanced force on an object is zero, the object can travel with a non-zero velocity. Such a motion will be a uniform motion. The conditions for this are:
(i) Magnitude of velocity must be constant.
(ii) Direction of velocity must be constant i.e., it travels in a straight line without change in direction.

The inertia of a moving body makes it:

  1. stop due to friction

  2. increase its speed

  3. decrease its speed

  4. resist a change in its state of motion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inertia is a physical property that offers resistance to change in the state of motion of an object i.e an object tends to remain in its initial state of motion when no external force is applied to it.

The inertial force acts in a 

  1. Opposite direction to that of acceleration force

  2. Same direction as that of accelerating force

  3. Perpendicular direction to that accelerating force

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The concept of Inertial force is mainly used as a pseudo force in case of accelerating frames of reference.

The inertial force hence will act in a direction opposite to the direction of acceleration of the frame of reference.

The mass of object A is 5 kg,that of object B is 40 kg,that of object C is 38 kg,and that of object D is 56 kg. Which object has the greatest inertia?

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D


Correct Option: D

A and B are two objects with mass 6 kg and 34 kg respectively. Then,

  1. A has more inertia than B

  2. B has more inertia than A

  3. A and B both have same inertia

  4. None of the above statements is true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mass of body is translation inertia. So, more mass means more inertia. (heavier body difficult to move)

So, option B is correct.

P and Q are two objects with masses 5 kg and 30 kg respectively. Then,

  1. P has more inertia than Q

  2. Q has more inertia than P

  3. P and Q have the same inertia

  4. Neither P nor Q has any inertia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mass is a translation inertia of body.

Option B is correct.

Passengers standing in a bus are thrown outwards when the bus takes a sudden turn, Because of:

  1. Outward pull on them

  2. Inertia

  3. Change in momentum

  4. Change in acceleration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It’s because of inertia, which is simply the tendency of any body to continue on whatever path it’s travelling unless acted on by an external force. For a standing passenger, his/her body will tend to continue along the straight line route the bus was travelling before the sharp turn. As the passenger’s feet are fairly firmly located to the floor of the bus when it turns, a force will act upon the passenger’s feet accelerating them towards the centre of the turn. 

$A$ and $B$ are two objects with mass $6  kg$ and $34  kg$ respectively. Then

  1. $A$ has more inertia than $B$

  2. $B$ has more inertia than $A$

  3. $A$ and $B$ both have same inertia

  4. None of the above is true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mass is the count of inertia. 

More is the mass, more is the inertia 

$P$ and $Q$ are two objects with masses $5  kg$ and $30  kg$ respectively. Then

  1. $P$ has more inertia than $Q$

  2. $Q$ has more inertia than $P$

  3. $P$ and $Q$ have the same inertia

  4. Neither $P$ nor $Q$ has any inertia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Inertia is the quality in matter (matter is anything you can touch) that lets it stay still if it is still, or keeps it moving if it is moving.

Since Q has more mass it has more inertia than P.

When the brakes are applied to bike the back seater moves forward why?

  1. Due to height

  2. Due to weight

  3. Due to inertia

  4. None


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When the bike stops suddenly, the back seater will get a jerk in a forward direction due to inertia of motion as the bike is stopped the body in contact with the bike will also try to stop but the upper portion of the body will still try to maintain its motion.

Mass is a measure of:

  1. weight

  2. inertia

  3. friction

  4. matter


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mass of the object is the measure of its inertia in the sense that greater the mass of the object, greater will be its inertia and vice-versa.

Identify which of the following quantity describe object's resistance to change in motion.

  1. acceleration

  2. velocity

  3. mechanics

  4. force

  5. inertia


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

Mass of the object is the measure of inertia.
For higher mass objects, acceleration is lesser on application of some force, $a=\dfrac{F _{net}}{m}$

Which of the following best describe about the statement " An object slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface".

  1. Inertia

  2. Unbalanced forces

  3. Action and reaction force pairs

  4. Universal gravitation

  5. Simple harmonic motion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Law of inertia states that present state (in motion or stationary) of a body does not change until an external force is applied on it .

As the object  slides on a frictionless surface it means no external force is working on it ,so body will continue to slide due to inertia of motion.

On what factors does the inertia of motion depend?

  1. Mass

  2. Velocity

  3. Acceleration

  4. Displacement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inertia of motion depend upon mass

Which of the following safety features are used in vehicles to reduce the negative effects of inertia?

(i)Safety seat belts(ii)Automatic air bags(iii)Absorber bumpers
  1. Only (i) and (ii)

  2. Only (ii) and (iii)

  3. Only (i) and (iii)

  4. (i), (ii) and (iii)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$Force=mass*\dfrac{momentum}{time}$

since the effect of inertia depend on force if the time of impact is increased and hence the same force will produce less effect of inertia the safety seat belt,automatic air bag,Absorber bumpers produce the same effect to decrease the negative effect of inertia.

The inertia of an object tends to cause the object:

  1. $to\ increase\ its\ speed$

  2. $to\ decrease\ its\ speed$

  3. $to\ resist\ any\ change\ in\ its\ state\ of\ motion$

  4. $to\ decelerate\ due\ to\ friction$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the tendency of the object to resist change in  motion. The inertia is directly dependent on the mass of the body. 
Inertia resist any change in its state of motion and is of three types:

  1. Inertia of rest
  2. Inertia of motion
  3. Inertia of direction

When a running horse suddenly stops, the rider falls  _________.

  1. forwards

  2. backwards

  3. to his right

  4. to the horse's right


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When horse stop suddenly rider falls due to inertia as when the horse is in motion rider also is in motion and when horse stop suddenly there is no external force acting on the ride to stop its motion therefore  rider falls forward.

Inertia means resistance to the change of state.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. mass

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If we see by Newton second law of motion.

  $F _{net}=ma$
$a=\frac{F}{m}$ 
a is depend on mass and is inversely proportional which state that the heavy object exhibit more inertia and they resist motion.

A coin tossed vertically by a passenger sitting in a train that is moving with a uniform velocity, still returns to his palm. This demonstrates the principle of.

  1. Inertia(Newton's First Law of Motion)

  2. Conservation of angular momentum

  3. Addition of velocities of the train and the coin

  4. Addition of forces due to gravity and the toss of the coin


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A coin tossed vertically by a passenger sitting in a train that is moving with a uniform velocity, still returns to his palm, it happens due to the phenomenon of inertia as the person and coin in his hand both are in uniform motion with the train.
