The fly wheel holds(keeps) momentum. So think of it this way if you physically push a 1000lb car up to 10mph and then stop it by running to the front and pushing the other direction, now try the same thing with a 4000lb car.

What one is easier to start moving?
What one will you get to 10mph faster?
What one will be more likely to keep moving and run you over?
