Question

which of the following is true of items with a larger mass?
a. objects with a larger mass have more inertia than objects with less mass
b. objects with a larger mass have less inertia than objects with less mass
c. moving objects with more mass tend not to stay in motion
d. heavier objects are easier to start moving than objects with less mass

Explanation:

Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes in its motion, and it is directly proportional to the object's mass. A larger mass means greater resistance to motion changes, so more inertia. Options B, C, and D contradict this principle: B claims less inertia for larger mass (false), C says more mass objects don't stay in motion (false, inertia keeps moving objects in motion), and D says heavier objects are easier to start moving (false, more mass means more force needed to overcome inertia).

Answer:

A. Objects with a larger mass have more inertia than objects with less mass
