What does inertia refer to in physics?
Think about the behavior of an object when not acted upon by a force.
Write the formula for calculating inertia force in a structure.
What do you multiply to find force from mass and acceleration?
What is inertia primarily responsible for?
Think about what happens to objects when no force is applied.
True or False: Inertia force increases with mass.
Consider how mass impacts a body's resistance to motion.
Calculate the inertia force experienced by a 500 kg object when accelerated at 4 m/s².
Use the formula for inertia force and substitute the values of mass and acceleration.
Discuss how increasing the mass of a building impacts its response during an earthquake. Include an example of a structural design decision that mitigates this impact.
