2.6.D—Describe inertial and gravitational mass

Describe inertial and gravitational mass.

• Objects have inertial mass, or inertia, a property that determines how much an object’s motion resists changes when interacting with another object.
• Gravitational mass is related to the force of attraction between two systems with mass.
• Inertial mass and gravitational mass have been experimentally verified to be equivalent. AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based Course and Exam Description Force and Translational Dynamics UNIT 2 TOPIC 2.7 Kinetic and Static Friction | AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based Course and Exam Description
