is the tendency for a body to either remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed‚ unless acted up by an unbalanced force. In both cases‚ the item has an acceleration of zero. Inertia is not a force‚ but rather a resistance to a change in velocity. In other words‚ the object wants to stay put or stay constant‚ and inertia is what happens when a force gives it acceleration. An example of inertia in the physical world happens while riding in a car. The driver turns the car left‚ but

LAB: Force Lab Research Question: How does the change in mass of an object affect the force and time while the object is moving down a height of 31cm? Hypothesis: My prediction is that the greater the mass of the toy car the larger the force of gravity‚ as the product of the masses of two objects increases‚ the force of gravity that attracts them toward each other increases. According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation‚ “gravity and mass are directly proportional” hence‚ creating a greater
