What property increases as an object's mass increases, making a full box harder to push than an empty one?
[ "weight", "inertia", "magnetism", "gravity" ]
B
The inertia of an object depends on its mass. Objects with greater mass also have greater inertia. Think how hard it would be to push a big box full of books, like the one in Figure below . Then think how easy it would be to push the box if it was empty. The full box is harder to move because it has greater mass and th...
