Can a body possess inertia without having weight?

Options

  1. ANo, as weight is a fundamental property of matter.
  2. BYes, only in a vacuum environment.
  3. CYes, in conditions where the gravitational force acting on it is zero.
  4. DNo, inertia and weight are directly proportional properties.

Correct answer

C. Yes, in conditions where the gravitational force acting on it is zero.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) Yes, in conditions where the gravitational force acting on it is zero.
