Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?

Inertia is the same thing as mass, more or less. Inertia is the tendency of the object to want to stay in place if at rest, or the object's tendency to stay in motion if a force is applied to it. A train's inertia is massive because it takes a lot of force to move such a large mass, or to slow it down. This is in comparison to the other objects (rubber ball, stone, bike, and the coins).

where are the vectors ?

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
