Out of a hard cricket ball and a soft tennis ball, which one has more inertia and why?

Open in App

Solution

Inertia is the measure of the mass of the body.
The greater is the mass of the body; the greater its inertia and vice-versa.
The mass of a hard cricket ball is more than the mass of a soft tennis ball of the same size.
Hence, the inertia of the hard cricket ball is greater than that of a soft tennis ball.
