Aim- Explain the relationship between mass and inertia. Donow - Define Acceleration. Acceleration- Is the change in velocity divided by the time it takes for the change to occur.

Mass & Inertia Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Objects with more mass weigh more than objects with less mass. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. Inertia increases as the mass of an object increases.
5
Inertia The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia is. A table-tennis ball responds to a gentle hit that would move a tennis ball only slightly.
6
Momentum The momentum of an object in motion is related to how hard it is to stop the object, and can be calculated from the following equation- P=MV Because velocity has a direction, momentum also has a direction.
7
The Law of Conservation of Momentum The law of conservation of momentum states that in a collision, the total momentum of the objects that collide is the same before and after the collision. The law of conservation of momentum enables you to predict how the motions of objects will change after a collision.
8
Law of conservation of momentum The law of conservation of momentum can be used to predict the results of collisions between different objects, whether they are subatomic particles smashing into each other at enormous speeds, or the collisions of balls as shown on the side. The results of the collisions depend on the masses of the balls.
