  • Properties of Massive Objects: Gravity, Inertia & Density
    Here are a few things that are always true of an object with a lot of mass:

    * Stronger Gravitational Pull: The more massive an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. This means it attracts other objects more strongly.

    * Higher Inertia: Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion. More massive objects have higher inertia, meaning they are harder to start moving and harder to stop once they are in motion.

    * Greater Density (Potentially): While not always the case, objects with a lot of mass *can* have a higher density. This means the mass is packed into a smaller space. However, there are exceptions, like a giant ball of feathers.

    * More Difficult to Accelerate: Because of inertia, accelerating a massive object requires a greater force.
