Solution

  1. Inertia:- The inherent property of an object due to which it resists any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line by itself is called inertia.
  2. Larger and heavy objects show more opposition to changing their state of rest or of uniform motion.
  3. So, a heavier object has more inertia than a lighter object.
  4. As a result it is easy to push an empty box than to push a box full of books.
