Inertial Mass

Description:

Inertial mass refers to the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration when acted upon by a force. It is a fundamental concept in physics that quantifies the amount of inertia an object possesses.

Sample sentences:

  • The inertial mass of an astronaut in space remains the same, regardless of the gravitational field.
  • An object with a greater inertial mass requires a larger force to be accelerated at the same rate as an object with a lower inertial mass.
  • The concept of inertial mass plays a vital role in Newton's second law of motion.
