A 320-pound NFL nose-tackle has lots of inertia. A runt like me who weighs a buck fifty and change, not so much. The nose-tackle is gonna be hard to move out of the way, so blocking him will be difficult. And if a running back carrying the ball runs into him, the play might end right then and there. If he ran into me, well, let's say that he would easily overcome my inertia, knock me into next week, and take it to the house.
Which brings us to momentum. Momentum is also related to mass, but it is also related to velocity. If an object is at rest, it has zero momentum. A moving object, however, has momentum. Double the speed and you double the mo. Triple the speed, triple the mo. If a running back runs fast, he will build up momentum. He can use that momentum to overcome another player's inertia. If he runs into the nose-tackle, he'll need lotsa mo to overcome his inertia. If he runs into me, he won't need much.
Just to complicate this a bit, an object with momentum has kinetic energy, and energy can be used to do work. To do work you must apply a force, and it's that force that can change another object's momentum. Since mass can't change, it stands to reason that velocity must change. So when the running back picks up a head of steam and plows into me, he's gonna change my momentum in a big way. I'm gonna go flying like a little kid's rag doll.
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.
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
Inertia?
Zero
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.
Momentum?

With less inertia.
Inertia of matter.
Momentum
Inertia.
tendency to maintain momentum!!!!!!!!
