How can inertia be measured?
Inertia can not be measured.
I think the best way to explain this is to look at friction. Friction is just an idea; neither it nor inertia have a mathematical definition; they are both concepts. However, you can calculate the Inertia Moment, in a similar way to how you can calculate the force of friction or the coefficient of friction.

Inertia can be measured using various methods, including:
- Mass measurement using a balance or scale.
- Acceleration measurement using accelerometers.
- Force measurement using force sensors or spring balances.
- Moment of inertia measurement for rotating objects using rotational dynamics experiments or instruments like a torsional pendulum.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- An object with a mass of #7 kg# is on a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of # 8 #. How much force is necessary to accelerate the object horizontally at # 32 m/s^2#?
- If an object is moving at #120 m/s# over a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of #u_k=12 /g#, how much time will it take for the object to stop moving?
- An object with a mass of #7 kg# is lying still on a surface and is compressing a horizontal spring by #5 /8 m#. If the spring's constant is #16 (kg)/s^2#, what is the minimum value of the surface's coefficient of static friction?
- An object, previously at rest, slides #7 m# down a ramp, with an incline of #(pi)/3 #, and then slides horizontally on the floor for another #1 m#. If the ramp and floor are made of the same material, what is the material's kinetic friction coefficient?
- If the length of a #78 cm# spring increases to #108 cm# when a #6 kg# weight is hanging from it, what is the spring's constant?
