Equal masses will have equal inertia.
Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia.

Newton's conception of inertia stood in direct opposition to more popular conceptions about motion. The dominant thought prior to Newton's day was that it was the natural tendency of objects to come to a rest position. Moving objects, so it was believed, would eventually stop moving; a force was necessary to keep an object moving. But if left to itself, a moving object would eventually come to rest and an object at rest would stay at rest; thus, the idea that dominated people's thinking for nearly 2000 years prior to Newton was that it was the natural tendency of all objects to assume a rest position.
Yes, it is correct to say that inertia causes a moving object to continue moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, so once an object is in motion, it will continue moving unless acted upon by an external force.
inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.
An object's tendency to resist a change in its state of motion is called inertia. This is the basis of Newton's Laws of Motion; "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.". The state of motion refers to the object's velocity, which is the the speed and direction. One quantifies inertia as the quantity of mass of an object. On can say that the mass of an object is a measure of how much an object resists change in its motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. That's why it is harder to push a 3 ton box as opposed to a soccer ball, or something lighter.
Yes, it is correct to say that objects resist changes in their state of motion because of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its current state of motion, whether that is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Yes. Inertia is what holds an object in motion from falling faster than the object falling at the same time. Say you have a brick and a feather. Which falls faster? Neither. You see, inertia contributes with the third law of motion, meaning an object at rest will stay at rest until a net zero force acts upon it. Meaning that inertia is that net zero force keeping that object at rest still. Now, if you dropped a brick off of the building at the same time as the feather, inertia would keep the brick from falling faster than the feather because of its speed. Gravity is pulling the object toward earth and inertia is holding it back. Same for the feather except theres less inertia because of the weight of the feather.More Speed= More inertia. Keep that in mind.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. This is, in essence, the statement of Newton's first law. The concept of inertial is quantified by mass. We say an object with twice the mass has twice the inertia. See also the related question link.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
Simple:Inertia is the characteristic of an object that resists change in motion.Inertia is quantified as mass. We say a 2 kg object has twice the inertia as a 1 kg object.More:We say that Newton's first law is the law of inertia. Basically, Newton's first law asserts that this characteristic exists and is associated with all objects.(A thousand years ago, people believed in magic and all sorts of things, so an assertion that there is something called inertia and it is a universal characteristic is not so trivial as it might sound now. As a side note, this law of nature was known before Newton, specifically, we know that Galileo had the correct formulation.)One quantifies this characteristic of inertia with mass. Mass is the thing that tells us how acceleration is proportional to force. We say a 2 kg object has twice the inertia as a 1 kg object. Newton's second law says this works the same for all object and the proportionality is the same for all forces.
Going to guess you meant to say Inertia. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
Gravity. The inertia of an object will keep it moving until an opposing force stops it.Friction.Called inertia. To accelerate a body the force is mass times acceleration. No force = no acceleration. People say " the force is opposed by the massacceleration"
