Now see if you can tell the difference between inertia and momentum. How could you change the momentum of a

moving car?

Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia is the measure of the mass of an object. It is the tendency of an object to change the direction of an object.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When an object having mass m moves with a particular velocity it will have momentum.

If the speed of an object is changed from u to v, its momentum can be changed and it can be calculated as :

Δp = m(v-u)

Hence, this is the required solution.
