Momentum+vs.+Innersia


 * Momentum || Inertia ||
 * P=mv || measured by mass ||

We are familiar with inertia because of Newtons first law. It basically says that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. So then what is innertia. Inertia is the constants speed that an objects tavels along a strait line. Well that easy enough to understand, but why is it that some can confuse it with momentum. For the most part it is the fact that both have to do with mass. Inertia is measured by mass, but with momentum mass is on of two factors that affect it. Momentum is the product of the objects mass times its velocity.

So these two pictures are here to help people understand momentum. Can these two animals have the same momentum if they are traveling at the same velocity. The answer is no. The mass of the two creatures fictional and real are different. Notingly the dragon more times then not is going to way a significant amount more of mass then that of the goose, at least acording to fiction. So even though the two are traveling at the same velocity they wil have a different momentum because of their mass. That goes to say will these two have the same inertia. No. Once again outside of wings these two creatures have nothing in common. Honestly if I could choose to be one or the other, the dragon seems to be winning this round, by a land slide.
