AnswerA Trick Question. While at rest, an object has no inertia.
Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Unless you mean rotational inertia, in which case it depends on the shape, but for two objects of the same shape (and mass distribution), the more massive always has higher inertia.
Because the Basketball weighs more than the marble ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most regular size, glass marbles weigh less about 0.16 ounces. A basketball weight about 22 ounces. When you throw something you have to accelerate its weight (mass) out of your hand, and a property of matter called "inertia" resists you. The size of the inertial resistance is directly dependent on the mass of the object, the bigger the inertia (mass) the bigger the resistance. Because of this it takes more effort (energy) to accelerate the heavier basketball compared to the lighter marble.

Greater than.
Measuring the inertia of a penny can be done by equation or experiment. The experiment is as simple as placing the penny on a piece of cardboard on top of a cup. Flick the cardboard, which will move, and the penny just falls into the cup.

Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.
