    Inertia is the property of mass and as per the definition of inertia we can say that object will continue its state of motion and resist any change in its state of motion due to inertia

    Inertia is only the property of mass and no other physical quantity can change the inertia of object

    So it is directly proportional to the mass of the object

    So if object has more mass then it will have more inertia

    in this given example we have to compare the inertia of a 200lb wrestler and a baseball

    So here the speed of baseball is of no use as inertia can not be determined by speed of the ball

    Since here mass of the wrestler is more so his inertia will be more than the inertia of baseball
