Confidence votes 317. Inertia is rotary momentum; an object's ability to continue spinning when a decelerating force is applied. Just as a heavy object takes more effort to stop from the same speed as a light object, so does a heavy object take more effort to stop from turning at the same speed as a light object. So assuming they are turning at the same angular velocity, the heavier one has a larger inertia.
3. Explain the law of conservation of momentum. Inertia is the property of mass that resists change. Therefore, it is safe to say that as the mass of an object increases so does its inertia. Weight is the measurement of resting inertia and momentum is the measure of inertia at a certain velocity.
