How does gravity work against inertia?
The moon has inertia and wants to keep going in a straight line but the earth has a larger gravitational pull and wants to pull the moon towards it. This causes the moon to circle or orbit the earth.
Why does a ball move in a straight line rolling on a table but follows a curved path once it rolls off?
The curved path is the result of gravity and inertia acting on the ball. As it leaves the table gravity pulls it to the ground at an increasing rate while inertia keeps it moving in its original direction. The table prevents the rolling ball from falling thus negating that curvature caused by gravity, and making it follow a straight line.
Did Aristotle thinks that a force on earth keeps a ball rolling along a smooth surface?
YES
Is displacement possible without any force acting on it?
YES , it can be possible because according to law of inertia if an object is moving andexternal force on it is zero then it keeps moving with constant velocity (constant speedin a straight line).Keep that up for a while and the object accomplishes some serious displacement.
What is an inward force necessary for circular motion to occur?
No. There is no outward force exerted in circular motion. Inertia is the reasoning. For example, if your in a car going around a roundabout than you are going one way but the car is going the other hence Inertia is present.
Which force keeps the space station in orbit?
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
What is the property of matter that keeps it moving in a straight line or keeps it at rest?
Inertia
What force keeps the planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What force keeps a hat traveling from the top to the bottom of the stairs?
The force is inertia

What force keeps the outer planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What is the force that along with inertia keeps the planets in their orbits?
gravity
What is the force that keeps patterns and activities stable on the landscape is?
Inertia.
Brief meaning of the law of inertia?
A moving object keeps moving, unless you force it to stop. It keeps moving in a straight line, unless you force it to change direction. It keeps moving at a constant speed, unless you force it to speed up or slow down. A stationary object remains stationary, unless you force it to start moving.
When traveling around a curve in a car on a roller coaster how do you explain what feels like a force pushing you outward?
inertia. because inertia keeps things going in a straight line, and that kind of throws it forward, but the direction of "foward" keeps changing as the car or roller coaster turns.
What keeps the planets and the sun in place?
Gravity, inertia, and gravitational force.
What force keeps the moon in orbit round the earth?
