When we say that an object wants to maintain its state of motion, we’re talking about inertia. Which term determines the quantity of inertia for an object?

and object has mass, so if moving, has a momentum value.

Inertia is determined by the mass of the object. greater the mass an object has, greater will be its inertia. smaller the mass an object has, smaller will be its inertia. Greater mass enables an object to resist change in its state of motion or rest while on the other hand smaller mass object can be easily made to change its state of motion or rest.
