LOL *I'm* not the one who just confused inertia with momentum for all
of usenet to see.

But YOU can find no pecks of inertia.

Why don't you tell us *in your own words* what
the lint told you it is? And how to measure it ....

You can find no pecks of "inertia" it seems.


Cliff:

I guess we'll have to go through this exercise one more time.

Here are what a number of physics sites have to say about the
measurement of inertia:

===========================================================================
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mass.html

The mass of an object is a fundamental property of the object; a
numerical measure of its inertia; a fundamental measure of the amount of
matter in the object.
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/flowegt/me232/class_problems/angmass.html

Mass is the quantification of inertia. Mass measures the resistance of
an object to a change in its state of linear motion. Thus mass measures
the linear inertia of an object.
===========================================================================

===========================================================================

Inertia
The resistance of an object to change velocity. Mass is a measure of
inertia.
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
http://mcdonaldobservatory.org/research/glossary/index.php?sort=a&f=M&l=M

Mass
The amount of matter content of an object and a physical measure of
inertia.
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
http://www.physlink.com/Education/askExperts/ae321.cfm

That resistance to being moved is inertia, and mass measures how much
inertia an object has.
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
http://www.nsbri.org/HumanPhysSpace/focus5/sf-musclemass.html

Mass is a quantitative measure of inertia;
===========================================================================

===========================================================================
http://concise.britannica.com/ebc/article-9363492/Einstein's-mass-energy-relation

mass - Quantitative measure of inertia, or the resistance of a body to a
change in motion.
===========================================================================

So if you want "pecks" of inertia, you just measure the mass. This is
not a difficult concept for most to absorb, Mr. Cliff Cranus.


Do facts and information from credible physics sites somehow threaten
(shall we be kind and just say), your out of the mainstream science
community's interpretation of various physical phenomena?

WHAT "physical phenomena"??

Why, momentum & inertia; the subject of this little subthread.


Silly Wabbit, mass IS the measure of inertia

Mass is the measure of mass, BB. Not much else.

See above.

Are you now trying again to claim that mass is "inertia"?

"Again"? That's not something I would have said. Mass & inertia are
closely interrelated but not identical. Inertia is a property of mass,
but mass has properties that are not associated with inertia, such as
the tendency of mass to attract other mass. Inertia does not share that
property with mass.
