■Inertia is the property of matter that resists a change in motion or acceleration. It is directly related to the mass (sometimes called Inertial Mass) of the object and is measured in kilograms. Mass of course, in the classical world, refers to the amount of matter an object contains and is a scalar quantity.
■Linear Momentum is a vector quantity and can be viewed as essentially ‘intertia-in-motion’. It is the product of the object’s mass and its velocity. It has units of kg.m/s or N.s.
■In the world of modern physics - the linear momentum of a massless particle (eg. a photon) can be determined by dividing Planck’s constant (h) with the wavelength of the photon. This expression comes from a rework of the linear momentum equation based using the notion of mass-energy equivalency.

Answer and Explanation:
Inertia is the ability of a body to resist any force applied to it. It depends on the Mass of the body.
Momentum is the force of the body in motion. It depends of both Mass and velocity of the body.
