accelerometer
An Accelerometer.

Acceleration due to gravity can be measured with weighing scales.

Clocks may also be used. At very high ('relativistic) speeds, the apparent speed (rate of change) of a distant clock will change perceptibly (subject to relative vector). The rate of change OF this change will then allow you to calculate your acceleration.

i.e. For an observer moving away from the clock at 0.5c, the emitted signals will be received around half as regularly, so the clock will appear to run slower. If you are accelerating then the apparent 'rate of ticking' of the clock will change in accordance with your acceleration.

What factor measures inertia?

Mass is the factor that measures inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion, and the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

What measures how hard it is to stop or start an object?

Inertia is the property of an object that measures how hard it is to stop or start its motion. The greater an object's mass, the more inertia it has.

Why moment of inertia is called rotational inertia?

That's what it's all about: about rotation. The "inertia" part is because it is comparable to the linear inertia: that's what makes it difficult to change an object's rotation.
