Abox of books has than a box of cotton balls.

Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass.  So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has more inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.

A box of books has more inertia than a box of cotton balls.

Explanation:

Inertia is related to the mass of the object. Inertia is usually defined as the resistance offered by the object in response to the movement or the velocity of the object.

The object will higher mass will have higher inertia as it should offer more resistance to remain in inertia and the object with lesser mas can offer smaller resistance comparatively. So here, the box of books has more inertia than a box of cotton balls.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
