Which of the following has more inertia: $(a)$ a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? $(b)$ a bicycle and a train? $(c)$ a five-rupee coin and a one-rupee coin?
(N/A) Inertia is the measure of the mass of an object. The greater the mass of the object,the greater is its inertia,and vice-versa.
$(a)$ $A$ stone has more mass than a rubber ball of the same size. Therefore,the stone has more inertia.
$(b)$ $A$ train has significantly more mass than a bicycle. Therefore,the train has more inertia.
$(c)$ $A$ five-rupee coin has more mass than a one-rupee coin. Therefore,the five-rupee coin has more inertia.
$(a)$ $A$ stone has more mass than a rubber ball of the same size. Therefore,the stone has more inertia.
$(b)$ $A$ train has significantly more mass than a bicycle. Therefore,the train has more inertia.
$(c)$ $A$ five-rupee coin has more mass than a one-rupee coin. Therefore,the five-rupee coin has more inertia.
