* Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. It's directly related to an object's mass.
* Momentum is a measure of an object's motion. It depends on both the object's mass and its velocity.
Example:
Imagine two cars:
* Car A: Heavy truck, stationary (velocity = 0)
* Car B: Small car, moving at a moderate speed
Both cars have the same inertia (mass), but Car B has momentum because it's moving. Car A has no momentum because it's stationary.
In summary:
* Two objects can have the same inertia (mass) but different momentum if they have different velocities.
* If two objects have the same mass and the same velocity, they will have the same momentum.
