'More the mass, more difficult it is to move the body from rest'. Explain this statement by giving an example.
Answer
As we know, more the mass, more is the inertia of the body. So mass is a measure of inertia.
If we take the example of a loaded trolley, then we observe that, 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).
