Answer 1

CONCEPT:

Inertia

Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is directly related to the mass of the object.
The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. This is because heavier objects require more force to change their motion compared to lighter objects.

EXPLANATION

A cycle has the least mass among the options, so it has the least inertia.
A scooter has more mass than a cycle, so it has slightly higher inertia.
A car is heavier than a scooter and cycle, so its inertia is higher.
A truck has the highest mass among all the given options, making its inertia the highest.

Inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object. Since the truck has the greatest mass, it has the highest inertia.

Therefore, the correct answer is Truck.
