Thermal inertia is the property of a material to resist changes in its temperature. It is determined by the material's density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity.

A material with high thermal inertia changes its temperature slowly in response to changes in the surrounding temperature. This is because it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of the material. Materials with high thermal inertia are often used in construction to keep buildings warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Some common materials with high thermal inertia include:

* Concrete

* Brick

* Stone

* Water

Materials with low thermal inertia change their temperature quickly in response to changes in the surrounding temperature. This is because it takes little energy to change the temperature of the material. Materials with low thermal inertia are often used in applications where it is important to be able to change the temperature quickly, such as in cookware.

Some common materials with low thermal inertia include:

* Metals

* Glass

* Plastic

* Wood
