Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

Answer:

Hoop.

Explanation:

The angular acceleration performed at a given torque:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

The moments of inertia of each element are described below:

Hoop

$I = M\cdot R^{2}$

Solid sphere

$I = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

Flat disk

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

Hollow sphere

$I = \frac{2}{3}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

The greater the moment of inertia, the greater the torque to obtain the same angular acceleration. Therefore, the hoop requires the largest torque to receive the same angular acceleration.
