What is the difference between inertia and momentum?

Answer 1

Momentum is that product of the mass times the velocity of an object.

Inertia is if an object is at rest it will remain at rest, and if an object in motion it will remain in motion.

Answer 2

Difference Between Inertia And Momentum

Answer 3

Inertia is a concept, the resistance of matter to resist a change in velocity ====> Newton's 1st and 2nd Laws of Motion. Momentum is the means to give Inertia a numerical value so it can be used in calculations.

Answer 4

Inertia is outlined in newton's first law and is more of a resistance to change that an object has. it is similar to the tendancy an object has to change momentum and linked to momentum

momentum is based upon the equation p=mv (where p=momentum, m=mass, and v=velocity) it is a vector quantity that depends upon the motion of the object at a given time

Answer 5

Inertia is proportional to mass. Large masses have more inertia than smaller masses.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an object changes its velocity.

Answer 6

Inertia: Tendency of an object to resist any change in motion.
Momentum: Mass x Velocity

Mass: How much matter is on an object.
Velocity: Speed in a given direction.

Answer 7

Inertia- The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.

Momentum- A measure of the motion of a body equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

Answer 8

inertia does not move and momentum is the movement of something

Answer 9

relativistically speaking: momentum is inertia outside your rest frame.
