Programmable Inertia Generators!

Do you agree that if the inertia of an object is zero, that it requires no force to accelerate that object in any direction?  If you do agree, kindly explain how your experiment demonstrates such acceleration on the test object.

The question is worst than wrong on so many levels.  For one, an acceleration is the effect of a force, so how can you state that it takes no force to accelerate that object in any direction?  And for two, inertia is the resistance to a change in velocity, so how can an object have zero inertia if it's being accelerated in any direction (acceleration is a change in it's velocity, thus it has inertia)?  The question you asked, wrongly implies several things, so there's no correct answer to your non-logical question.  The inertia of an object is only zero if it's not being accelerated.

Let me re-word your question so it's fundamentally correct, without it wrongly implying several things.

Do you agree that if the inertia of an object is zero, that it requires no force to maintain that object at it's current velocity?  Yes, I agree!  The experiment doesn't have an acceleration after the system is balanced due to the torque and inertia being cancelled by the conservation of momentum as the moment arm increases by the lighter weight moving outwards from the center of rotation, at which time the system maintains a constant velocity or uniform motion.

LOL, Newton's First Law tells us that it does not require any force to maintain constant velocity of an object that has any value of inertia.  So that behavior does not distinguish whether or not an object has inertia.  So, kindly answer my question.

The question is worst than wrong on so many levels.  For one, an acceleration is the effect of a force,

acting against an inertial mass

so how can you state that it takes no force to accelerate that object in any direction? 

LOL, you claim there is no inertia.  Ergo no force is required to effect an acceleration.

And for two, inertia is the resistance to a change in velocity,

Otherwise known as the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

so how can an object have zero inertia if it's being accelerated in any direction (acceleration is a change in it's velocity, thus it has inertia)?

LOL, again, you claim that you have a demonstration of zero inertia.  It is up to you to explain how it is that the demonstration supposedly shows such a thing.

The question you asked, wrongly implies several things, so there's no correct answer to your non-logical question.  The inertia of an object is only zero if it's not being accelerated.

No, I think the question plainly exposes another one of your gross fails.  Hence, you don't wish to answer it.

MarkE,

Please state what you disagree with, and give an explanation for the disagreement.

1.)  Do you agree that the system will have more inertia and decelerate as the moment arm increases due to conservation of momentum?

2.)  Do you agree that the lighter weight will have more torque as the moment arm increases as it moves away from the center of rotation, which will accelerate the system?

3.)  Do you agree that the acceleration provided by the torque is canceled by the deceleration of the system due to the conservation of momentum?  <-------This is how the Programmable Inertia Generators function, which is cancelling an acceleration with a deceleration, or cancelling a deceleration with an acceleration.

4.)  Do you agree that the system will reach a constant velocity and uniform motion due to the above.

5.)  Do you agree an object doesn't resist it's own motion when it has a constant velocity?
