Example Sentences
"In physics, inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its motion."
"The inertial mass of an object is directly related to the amount of matter it contains."
"According to Newton's laws of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its inertial mass."
"An object with a greater inertial mass requires more force to cause the same acceleration as an object with a smaller inertial mass."
