Question

Which among the following statements is correct? A heavier body has a larger inertia than a lighter body A lighter body has a larger inertia than a heavier body Inertia of a body does not depends on mass of body Inertia is the ability of a body to change its state of rest or of uniform motion on its own

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:Ok

Answer 2

Correct statement is - A heavier body has a larger inertia than a lighter body .

Inertia refers to resistance in change of state of body. Mass is only dependent upon inertia.

Heavier body owns larger inertia and hence requires greater force to change it's state of motion. This also indicates that heavier body offers higher resistance to change it's state of motion.

Law of inertia or Newton's first law of motion states that body at rest or in motion will continue to remain at rest or in motion, until external force is applied.
