Question

Suppose two bodies of mass 2kg and 10kg are placed on a frictionless surface. The force required to move either of them is the same . Does that mean both bodies have same inertia ? Give reasons for your choice .

Solution

No
The measure of inertia is proportional to mass of an object, So more the mass more inertia acts on the body.
