A pseudo force is one which exists when u go into some other frame of reference.It is not actually existing but appears to exist in a particular frame.

Moment of inertia is present in all frames of reference.It is actually existing.U can find a good example in hcv abt an inertial frame abt a man standing and watching a capsule go upwards and a man inside the capsule .

No object can change it's state of rest/motion unless a force is applied on it.... it is true that moment of inertia kepps the body in state of rest or motion....  when a system comes to rest (for example consider a bus as a system), the passengers move forward as :

(1)it continues to be in the state of rest,

 ------------------OR-----------------------

(2)a pseudo force (imaginary) keeps it in motion for some more time.

 

when the bus stops, a pseudo force acts on the passengers pushing them forward!!! Laughing

 

the same thing is actually explained in two contexts but the pseudo force concept is assumption or imaginary!


ALL THE BEST!
