Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia is the tendency of a body to remain at rest or to do nothing.

It is the resistance to any change in position of body.

When the force on a body increases, the inertia reduces

When the mass is reduced the inertia reduces

According to newton's first law or the law of inertia "an object will remain in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless if it is acted upon by an external force".
