Yes, Inertia can be overcome by force. If it is science homework, and used as a true or false question, circle true, or write T. Whatever the directions are. PLEASE believe me, we went over this with my teacher! (i wont lie to you..)

it depends on how much mass an object has. if someone was playing mini Golf and the ball was 2 feets away from the hole, it wouldn't need much force to move it. If a huge boulder was to roll down a hill, it would take a good amount of force to push it

No, pressure is the force exerted on a surface. Inertia is the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.
