Give two examples to show that greater the mass, greater is the inertia of the body.

Below examples illustrate that mass is a measure of inertia i.e., greater the mass, greater is the inertia of the body:

1. A cricket ball is more massive then a tennis ball. The cricket ball acquires much smaller velocity than a tennis ball when the two balls are pushed with equal force for the same duration.
   In case when they are moving with the same velocity, it is more difficult to stop the cricket ball (which has more mass) in comparison to the tennis ball (which has less mass).
2. It is difficult (i.e., larger force is required) to set a loaded trolley (which has more mass) in motion than an unloaded trolley (which has less mass). Similarly, it is difficult to stop a loaded trolley than an unloaded one, if both are moving initially with the same speed.
