Yes, both balls will start rolling due to inertia of motion. The train stops due to brakes. But the balls continue to move in the direction of the train.The two balls will not roll in the same speed.Infact, the iron ball being heavier than the rubber ball will be moving at a lower speed.
The three types of inertia are as follows:
1. Inertia of Rest
2. Inertia of Motion
3. Inertia of Direction
