A cart loaded with groceries has less inertia because it has more mass than the empty cart

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia is the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest unless acted upon by some forces. The higher the mass the greater is the inertia of the object. As a loaded cart is heavier than an unload cart, the inertia of the former is greater than the later. Therefore, the given statement is false.

Inertia is described as “a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged;” with more weight, loaded cart would have a higher tendency to stay where it is opposed to the empty cart if the same amount of force were applied to both.
