Object with more inertia has more mass, so it definitely matters

@Justinee Everything in nature, from the motion of fan to the motion of Hard drive in your PC

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

I was thinking you could still lift it - but very slowly if it has a lot of inertia - but the same applies to moving it - it has a lot of inertia so it takes a long time to move it (i.e. push it)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeap !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Inertia is mainly of three types Inertia of rest, motion and direction

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yes - @roshan2004 is spot on!
