Inertia and mass are closely related, with mass serving as a measure of an object’s inertia. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, and therefore its resistance to changes in motion or rest.

The quantitative measure of inertia in an object is its mass. Mass indicates the amount of matter in an object and is directly related to its inertia.

We determine the relative inertia of objects by comparing their tendencies to resist changes in their states of motion. In the example given, the train exhibits more inertia compared to the cart because it requires more force to change its ...

A force that can cause a small cart to pick up a large velocity produces only a negligible change in the motion of a train because the train has much more mass and therefore more inertia compared to the cart. ...

The force required to perform an activity is less when using a one-rupee coin compared to a five-rupees coin. This is because the one-rupee coin has less mass and therefore less inertia, making it easier to change its state of ...

Kicking a stone of the same size with equal force as kicking a football can lead to injury because the stone has greater inertia and resists changes in its state of motion more than the football. As a result, the ...

The football flies away when kicked because it has less mass and therefore less inertia compared to the stone. The stone has greater inertia, so it resists changes in its state of motion, causing it to hardly move despite being ...

It is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books because the empty box has less mass and therefore less inertia, making it easier to change its state of motion.

The application of an unbalanced force by the engine to change the direction of motion of the motorcar causes our body to resist the change, leading to us slipping to one side of the seat due to inertia.

This behavior is explained by Newton’s first law of motion, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
