  • Inertia and Mass: Understanding Inertia in Physics
    Here's how to think about this:

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

    * Mass and Inertia: Mass is a direct measure of inertia. More mass means more inertia.

    Since a 5kg object has less inertia than another object, that other object must have a greater mass than 5kg.

    To be more specific, the other object must have a mass greater than 5kg.
