Inertia is related to speed and mass; a train is both faster and more massive than a car.

Why is it easier to stop a car than a train?
Because a car weighs a lot less than a train - therefore it takes less force to stop the car.
Why would a train have more inertia than a car if they both had the same velocity they both they both?
While they may both have the same speed, the train WEIGHS thousands of times what the car weighs.
How does mass affect an objects inertia?
A massive object has greater inertia. It requires more force to slow it down or change it's course. Example: It takes much more force to stop a train than it does to stop a car, only because the train has much greater mass.
If car 1 has a greater inertia than car 2 then car 1 has?
has a greater mass than car 2
Which has more interia a car with 900 kg or a car with 1500 kg?
1500kg. "Inertia" is a measurement of resistance of an object to a change of it's motion. Oversimplified, a train has more inertia than a car. The more mass, the more inertia, it applies to acceleration and deceleration equally. Galileo demonstrated inertia before Newton's "First Law of Motion" Here is the interesting part: It does not require force to keep an object in motion. Rather, it is a force that brings an object to rest. That being friction. Inertia must not be confused with momentum, they are two different things in physics.

It takes less force to stop a train than to stop a car.

Why is it harder to stop a train than a car even when the car is moving faster?
The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back. The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back.
Could a fast car 1800kg have more inertia than a stopped car 1800kg?
I am almost certain they would have the same inertia.
If car 1 has a greater inertia than car 2 then car 1 has?
has a greater mass than car 2
Does a speeding car or a jet on a runway have more inertia?
A speeding car and a jet on a runway would have roughly the same amount of inertia, as both objects have mass and are in motion. Inertia is a property of an object that resists changes in its motion, and is directly proportional to the object's mass. Therefore, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia.
Why is it easier to start or stop a car than a train?
A car is much, much lighter than a train, and requires less force both to go into motion and to come to a stop. Even though a train has many more sets of brakes and a much more powerful motor, the ratio of engine power to weight and braking power to weight is much greater in a car, allowing the car to go into motion and come to a stop with much less effort than what is required to do the same with a train.
Is a car older than a train?
If by that you mean, was the train around longer than the car, if so yes

because the train have a power heavy than car fast thats it
