That may refer to an object's mass (units: kilograms), to its momentum (measured in mass x velocity, units are kilogram x meter / second), or to its kinetic energy (measured in joules).

What is A measurement of how hard it is to slow down and stop an object?
force is the measurement
What determines how hard it would be to stop an object in motion.?
The equation is F = M A, where F is the Force required to stop the object, M is the object's Mass, and A is its Acceleration. Note that its acceleration in this case is the rate at which you are DE-ACCELERATING the object to stop it.
If friction acts on an object what does the temperature do?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the temperature determines which objects stop on which surfaces!!
What is a characteristic of a moving object that is related to the mass and velocity of the object?
The momentum of an object is the product of the object's mass and velocity. This is essentially a measure of how hard it is to stop an object.
Why is it that an object with momentum is hard to stop?
because of its inertia, it still has a lot of force so it takes a lot of force to stop it.

Why is it hard to stop an object that is moving very fast?
The bigger momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop it. Momentum is defined as velocity times mass. An object with really big mass which moves really slowly (like a car moving slowly) is also hard to stop.
Why is it hard to stop fast moving cars?
A fast moving object has a lot of kinetic energy that must be taken away to stop the car.
Does inertia change with speed?
Inertia is a measurement of the amount of energy needed either to start the object moving, or to slow down or stop its movement. This depends upon the mass (weight) of the object, but more particularly its change of speed. The greater the mass (weight) of the object the greater the amount of energy needed to move it and stop it.
Why is it so hard to stop some objects?
If an object has a large mass, then it is difficult to increase or decrease its speed. F = ma (Newton's Second Law)
When an object Is not moving it is at?
Stop
