Solution

  1. Inertia: The resistance to a change in a physical object's state of motion is known as inertia. It is the property of an object that prohibits it from changing its state of rest or uniform motion along its own straight path.
  2. Mass is the quantity that is solely determined by an object's inertia.
  3. The more an object's inertia, the greater its mass. A more large object will withstand changes in its state of motion more effectively.

Hence, the mass of an object is the measure of its inertia.
