weight

The amount of inertia an object has is simply related to the mass of the object. Mass and Weight are two different things. Mass  typically in units of kg or grams  is basically a measure of what comprises an object. Weight is the measure of how much the force of gravity is pulling on you. In fact, instead of saying 'I weigh 80 lb. ', one could say that 'the force of gravity is pulling on me with a force of 80 lb. ' The metric unit for weight  and force  is the Newton.
