Mass as a measure of an object’s inertia (its resistance to being accelerated by a force)
1 This second definition is often referred to as an object's inertial mass .
2 So, for a certain net force, if you have a larger inertial mass the change in velocity is smaller.
3 It follows- Idonot wish to prove it now-thatthere must be forces acting over long distances, or elementary particles of vanishing inertial mass .
4 The inertial mass reflects how difficult it is to change the motion of the object-itis easier to deflect a mosquito than a Mack truck.
5 There is inertial mass (the resistance to change in motion by a force) and there is gravitational mass that is proportional to the gravitational force.
6 But it is important to realize that there are two type of mass: Inertial Mass : This is commonly what inertia means.
