Quantitatively, the inertia of an object is measured by its mass.

EXPLANATION:

According to Newton’s First Law of Motion-

  • "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
  • This tendency of objects to resist change in their state of motion is referred to as inertia.
  • This tendency depends on the mass of the object; the more massive an object is, the more it’ll have a tendency to resist change in its state of motion.
