1. A stone has more mass than a rubber ball of the same size. As mass is a measure of inertia, therefore, stone has more inertia than a rubber ball.

2. A train has greater inertia than a bicycle, because train is much heavier than a bicycle.

3. A five-rupees coin is heavier than a one-rupee coin. Therefore, inertia of a five-rupees coin is more than the inertia of a one-rupee coin.
