Answer 1

Inertia is a property of an object that depends on its mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, regardless of its velocity.

Here are the masses of the objects:

- Object W: 16 kg
- Object X: 15 kg
- Object Y: 13 kg
- Object Z: 2 kg

Based on the masses, object Z has the smallest mass, which means it also has the smallest inertia.

Therefore, the correct response is **Z**.
