Which has greater inertia a large mass or a small mass?
A large mass. The traditional view is to refer to inertia in terms of Newton's First Law of Motion. However, it became common for Physicists to use the mathematically more useful Newton's 2nd Law of Motion to describe inertia in terms of how difficult it is to change the momentum of a body. The 2nd Law of Motion tells us that Force = Mass x Acceleration. "Inertia" in this context is thus directly proportional to the body's mass.
Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?
The small ball will have a greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane because it has less mass and experiences less inertia. This means that the force of gravity can accelerate the small ball more easily than the large ball.
Would a large mass moving slowly have more or less momentum than a small mass moving slowly?
A large mass moving slowly would have more momentum than a small mass moving slowly because momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Even if both masses are moving at the same speed, the larger mass would still have more momentum due to its greater mass.
What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?
Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?
because it has greater mass
What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?
A large truck typically has more inertia than a small car because inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass. The greater mass of the truck means it will resist changes in its state of motion more than the smaller car.
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 are groups at small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?
small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.
Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?
The small ball will have a greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane because it has less mass and experiences less inertia. This means that the force of gravity can accelerate the small ball more easily than the large ball.

A large mass moving slowly would have more momentum than a small mass moving slowly because momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Even if both masses are moving at the same speed, the larger mass would still have more momentum due to its greater mass.
What could cause a large pile of small rocks to stay in the same place?
Inertia.

If we are moving from a large value to a small value we move the decimal point to the left.
