Best Answer

Mass content of a body is responsible for providing inertia to a body. When you try to move a heavy body, you apply more force to it, i.e it doesn't intend to change its state of motion, here at rest easily.. so more resistance to change the state more is the inertia.

In other sense it can also be seen as tendency to resist change in momentum of a body.

What is the mass of inertia?

Intertia isn't something, as in there is no mass to it. Inertia is when I object is moving it wont stop until something causes it. Example: The eartch is moving because of inertia. There is no mass involved.

Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?

No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".


What gives an object inertia for newtons laws?

Nothing gives an object inertia. Inertia is not a force. It is just the tendency of an object to continue in its motion if there is no force acting upon it.
