If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move.

When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object

What is the relationship between momentum and energy?

The relationship between momentum and energy is that momentum is a measure of an object's motion, while energy is a measure of an object's ability to do work. In a closed system, momentum and energy are conserved, meaning they can be transferred between objects but the total amount remains constant.

Are momentum and impulse measured in the same units?

No, momentum is measured in units of kilograms times meters per second (kgm/s), while impulse is measured in units of Newton seconds (Ns). Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, while impulse is a measure of the change in momentum experienced by an object.
