  • Inertia: Mass Matters - Understanding Resistance to Motion
    That statement is incorrect.

    Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. The more massive an object is, the more inertia it has.

    Here's why:

    * Mass is a measure of inertia: A larger mass means a greater resistance to changes in motion.

    * 20 kg is much greater than 2 mg: A 20 kg object has a mass 10,000 times greater than a 2 mg object.

    Therefore, the 20 kg object has significantly more inertia than the 2 mg object.
