Momentum
Force and rate of change of momentum (both vector quantities) are cause (force) and effect (rate of change of momentum). Newton's second law of motion equates the two quantities, but they are not identical. There is a distinction in that forces derive from interactions between objects (gravitational, electrical, magnetic...) while momentum changes in response to the net force acting on an object or system.
The mass and distance (weight and height) determine the potential energy. A third factor can be the relative motion of the objects, which does not change the potential but may determine its effect.
law of conservation of momentum
Inertia in physics is generally defined as resistance to change in velocity and it is measured as a change in momentum. (p is momentum, so change in momentum would be Δp, measured as Δp = m*Δv)
A change in momentum exists whenever a force acts on an object, and the magnitude of the change is dependent on the mass of the object on which the force acts.

law of conservation of momentum
Impulse equals change in momentum. "Apex" The final momentum of any object (or collection of objects) must equal to its initial momentum plus any impulse imparted to the object (or collection of objects).
The total momentum of all the objects does not change when two or more objects collide together. An object that is smaller in mass can not have more momentum after the collusion.

No. The "total momentum" is related to Newton's Third Law. No, that is the law of conservation of momentum.
Force. The way Newton specified his law originally, force is equal to the derivative of momentum with respect to time (dp/dt) - that is, to its rate of change.
Inertia is directly proportional to an objects mass. Inertia is the desire of objects to continue doing exactly what they are doing. The greater the mass the greater the inertia.
That really depends on the details of the experimental setup. However, impulse, which is change of momentum, is equivalent to force x time - that means that if a force is applied for a certain time, it will provide the same impulse (change of momentum) to objects of different mass. The more massive object's speed will change less, but this is compensated by its greater mass.
