Inertia is basically resistance of an object to change it's state of motion. The force or moment of inertia each object has is based on one of Newton's classic laws of motion: Force = Mass X Acceleration. It would be dependant on the moment of inertia of either vehicle at the time. A 20000 kg plane moving at 1m per second has the same force as a 2000 kg moving at 10m per second.
