Is inertia the reason that for moving objects maintaining motion?

Not really. It's more like this tendency is explained with the word "inertia". This says nothing about the reason.

What keeps moving objects going in their direction of motion?
inertia
How does gravity keep objects in motion?
It doesn't. It will change an objects direction and/or speed but its inertia that keeps it moving.
Do objects have inertia only when they are moving?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. An object would have inertia while moving and also while at rest.
Will a chair move by itself because of its inertia?
Nothing will move on its own due to inertia. Inertia refers to objects already in motion. So, a chair that was already moving will keep moving, but it won't begin movement on its own.
Does the law of inertia apply to moving or non moving objects?
It applies to both moving and non-moving objects.

What is a inertia?
There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.
Does the law of inertia apply to moving or non moving objects?
It applies to both moving and non-moving objects.
How is a car affected by inertia if it's moving?
A moving object tend to stay in motion-law of inertia.
What force slows moving objects?
Inertia is what slows down moving objects. 2nd Answer: Not even close . . . inertia would keep objects FROM slowing. Friction or running into another object will slow a moving object.
Does the law of inertia apply to moving and non moving objects?
Yes it does.
What is inertia and orbital motion?
The natural tendency of an object to not move (if it wasn't moving), or to keep moving (if it was moving). Inertia is the characteristic that a object will want to stay at rest or in motion. You can feel this in a buss when it suddenly moves this is why you get sent backwards.
Do only objects that are not moving have inertia?
idk bghy
