The statement is false. When a bus moves at constant velocity, the penny would return to your hand due to inertia. However, if the bus accelerates or decelerates, the penny would NOT return to your hand because of inertia - it would continue at the original velocity while you and the bus change velocity. The penny's motion depends on whether the bus maintains constant velocity or accelerates.

Inertia is the tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion. This property is quantified by mass - mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia.

For an object moving in a straight line at constant speed, both the magnitude and direction of velocity remain unchanged. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so zero change means zero acceleration.
