What is the difference between momentum and inertia?

Inertia is the observed natural tendency of an object in motion to keep moving in the same direction and at the same speed, or if at rest, to stay at rest. read more

Momentum vs Inertia Inertia and momentum are two concept involved in the study of motion of solid bodies. Momentum and inertia are used to describe the current state of the object. Both inertia and momentum are concepts related to the mass of the object. read more

To quantify Inertia, physicists developed the more specific concept of Momentum, which has quantities of mass, speed, and direction. Long Answer: Inertia is the observed natural tendency of an object in motion to keep moving in the same direction and at the same speed, or if at rest, to stay at rest. read more

Momentum [d(p)=I,where “p” is the momentum and “I” is the impulse] of a body is the maximum impulse that the body can pass to another body where as inertia is the tendency of the body to resist any change in its momentum. read more
