    Answer: (b) a bicycle and a train

    Inertia is the same thing as mass, more or less. Inertia is the tendency of the object to want to stay in place if at rest, or the object's tendency to stay in motion if a force is applied to it. A train's inertia is massive because it takes a lot of force to move such a large mass, or to slow it down. This is in comparison to the other objects (rubber ball, stone, bike, and the coins).

    Inertia is the measure of the mass of the body. The greater is the mass of the body; the

    greater is its inertia and vice-versa.

    (a) Mass of a stone is more than the mass of a rubber ball for the same size. Hence, inertia of

    the stone is greater than that of a rubber ball.

    (b) Mass of a train is more than the mass of a bicycle. Hence, inertia of the train is greater

    than that of the bicycle.

    (c) Mass of a five rupee coin is more than that of a one-rupee coin. Hence, inertia of the five

    rupee coin is greater than that of the one-rupee coin.
