What is inertia?
Think about how objects behave when you push them.
Write the equation relating inertia to force and acceleration.
Recall how mass, acceleration, and force are connected.
What does inertia refer to?
Think back to Newton's First Law.
True or False: Inertia increases with higher mass.
Consider how heavy objects behave compared to lighter ones.
A structure weighing 5000 kg is subjected to an earthquake causing an acceleration of 2 m/s². Calculate the inertia force acting on the structure.
Apply the formula F = ma.
Compare the inertia effects on a tall building versus a small structure during seismic activity. Discuss the design implications.
Consider how mass and height amplify inertia's effects.
