Toby, a truck driver, claims that if he were able to drive his twelve-ton truck on the moon, it would require less force to bring it to a stop than on Earth. Is Toby right or wrong? Explain using the words weight, mass, and inertia.
Toby is wrong.
Inertia is a property of matter that resists a change in the motion of an object, and it comes from mass.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Although his truck has a smaller WEIGHT on the moon, its mass is the same.
