difference between mass and inertia in tabular form is mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object.the more inertia the object has, the mass it has. a MORE MASSIVE object has a greater tendency to resists changes in its state of motion.

A long time ago, there lived a really smart guy named Galileo Galilei. Galileo was a great scientist, with interests in physics, math, astronomy, and philosophy. One of his most important contributions to the scientific world was a discovery he made about moving objects.
Earlier, another famous guy, Aristotle, had said that there were two kinds of motion: natural and unnatural. He believed that natural motion occurred without a force - things like the sun, the moon, and other, similar types of objects in the sky moved without anything pushing or pulling them. Unnatural motion then, was motion that required a force - something pushing or pulling the object to make it move.
mass
Larger objects are generally harder to get moving than smaller objects, right? This is because larger objects tend to be more massive. Mass, which is a measure of inertia, is the amount of matter in an object. The mass of something depends on the amount and type of 'stuff' it's made of. Kick an empty can, and it's easy to get moving because it's not very massive. But fill the can with lead, and it's much harder to kick into motion because lead is very massive.
This also means that the more massive an object is, the more inertia it has. This makes sense because an object made of more 'stuff' will be harder to either get moving or stop moving. Would you rather try to move an elephant or a mouse? How about stopping a speeding semi or a speeding motorcycle? Both the elephant and the semi have more mass, so they have more inertia. It would be much easier to move the mouse and stop the motorcycle because they have less mass, and therefore less inertia.
