Inertia is directly proportional to mass. This means:
* Larger mass = Greater inertia
* Smaller mass = Smaller inertia
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Think about these examples:
* Pushing a heavy box: It's much harder to get a heavy box moving (or stop it once it's moving) than a lighter box. This is because the heavy box has more inertia.
* Throwing a baseball: It's easier to throw a baseball than a bowling ball, because the baseball has less inertia.
