inertial mass
inertial mass n (General Physics) the mass of a body as determined by its momentum, as opposed to gravitational mass. The acceleration of a falling body is inversely proportional to its inertial mass but directly proportional to its gravitational mass: as all falling bodies have the same constant acceleration the two types of mass must be equal Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | inertial mass - (physics) the mass of a body as determined by the second law of motion from the acceleration of the body when it is subjected to a force that is not due to gravitymass - the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational fieldnatural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions; "his favorite subject was physics" |
