Well, there are several ways to go about answering this.
Inertia is the property of an object at rest resisting motion.
First: Pmomentum is the property of an object in motion to resist change in that motion.
Second: Potential Energy is the property of an object at rest to begin moving, it typically results from height.
Third: Kinetic Energy is the property of an object in motion to keep moving. [here both of our categories are opposite of inertia] This is likely the best bet.
Any of these are good options if your answer is limited to the field of Fizex. (Then again, Quantum physics is fairly different from inertia too.)
Finally: If your answer isn't related to Fizex, Waffles, Historical figures, language, and philosophy are very different from Inertial.

Since momentum is directional, the opposite of momentum is an opposed momentum, going in the opposite direction.

What friction force acts between a refrigerator and the floor when the fridge is pushed?
Friction opposes motion so the friction force will be in the direction opposite to that in which the fridge is pushed.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
In what direction is the force of friction exerted?
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion
How do you find force when given a constant speed and force of friction?
If the speed is constant, then the group of forces acting on the object is balanced. So the portion of the force acting in the direction of the motion must be equal and opposite to the force of friction.
How does the direction of friction compare with the dierection of the velcocity of a sliding object?
The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.
What are principles of friction?
there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.
What is the direction of the force of friction on wheel of bicycle?
the direction of force of friction provided from earth is in its opposite direction.i.e the wheel and frictional force are both opposite to each other
What is the opposite force of friction?
There is no force opposite to friction. In fact, friction is not actually a force, although we treat it as if it were one, in order to make the math and physics easier. The concept of a force opposite to friction might be 'lubricity' ... the ability of two surfaces to slide past each other. The opposite force of friction depends on all the other forces applied to any moving object, since those determine the object's motion, and friction always acts in the direction exactly opposite to the object's motion.
What is the force between two objects that are touching is?
Friction force. [opposite force]

What is the defition of friction?
friction is: When an object exerts an opposite force on an object in motion.
What is the force between two moving objects that are touching?
Friction force. [opposite force]
What is a force that is opposite to the dicrection of motion?
Friction often does that.
What are the principles of friction?
there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.
What friction force acts between a refrigerator and the floor when the fridge is pushed?
Friction opposes motion so the friction force will be in the direction opposite to that in which the fridge is pushed.
What is the force that opposes the friction force?
The opposite force to friction is momentum. Because friction stops an object from moving or slows an object down, momentum keeps it at speed.
