Momentum and inertia are actually different, inertia is the tendency a body has to maintain a state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by a external force momentum would be a impelling force or strength.

What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?

I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.


Does a 1 kilogram ball or a 10 kilogram ball have more momentum?

Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Unless you mean rotational inertia, in which case it depends on the shape, but for two objects of the same shape (and mass distribution), the more massive always has higher inertia.


Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?

An object with more momentum will have more inertia. Inertia is the ability to resist a change in force; objects with higher masses and higher speeds will have greater inertia. Speed * mass = momentum

How are inertia and momentum related?

More or less the same thing. Different ways to describe similar effects of movement and resistance.


What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?

Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.
