Answer:

Inertia relates directly to an object's mass. It is its inherent property and expresses how much force is needed to bring the object to a certain level of acceleration. It is the sole factor.

Momentum relates proportionally to two factors: mass and velocity. As such, momentum is not an inherent property of an object but a measure dependent on it current velocity, in addition to its mass.
