Newton's Law of Inertia states that an object in motion will remain in motion along a line given a constant velocity and if no external force is applied.?

Well you have the first part correct. Newton's Second law exactly states: an object at rest will stay at rest..unless an acting force acts upon it. You kind of have it right as unbalanced..but to clarify it you just wanna say any force stronger then the existing object. Its like wind pushing on a feather, or cars being pulled by tow trucks.

Why an object moves with uniform speed even if the two forces acting on it in opposite directions are equal?
It is not "in spite of" it is because of. The action of the object (e.g. thrust of engine, waving of arms or legs) generates an oppositely directed reaction, causing the object to move in the other direction.
What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?
Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.
Which law is associated with inertia?
Newtons first. :^D
What is the Momentum law that states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?
Law of inertia? Newtons first law.
Measures an objects tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity?
When the object is at rest, the acceleration is zero. so the net total force acting on the body from all directions should be zero. when the object is moving with constant velocity, the acceleration is zero, so in this case too, after the motion is started, the force on the body should be zero. when the velocity is increasing, some acceleration is present, so some force should be present in the direction of the motion. These are the various cases which can be explained by the equation: Force = Mass * Acceleration. here the mass remains constant, so acceleration depends on the net force
Why an object moves with uniform speed even if two forces acting on it in opposite directions are equal?
According to Newtons 1st law of motion, a body moving with constant velocity will move with it until an external force compelled it to change its velocity or which is also known as the Inertia of motion. As two equal and opposite forces acting on it , the net external force is zero, so it will move with constant velocity.
Could newtons third law of motion be called law of inertia?
No, inertia is derived from the first law: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external forcein this case, velocity is 0m/s and therefore remains constantinertia also exist in moving objects as well.
What is sir Isaac Newtons 1 law?
Of the Newtons laws of motion the first one states that:(quoting Newton)...every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.

What is newtons law of inertia?
"a body will not change its state of motion or of uniform motion until an unbalanced external force is applied to it"eg.If their is no friction, the car moving with 40 km/hr will move with same velocity.

What are the three types of forces according to newtons first law?
Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis" in 1686. His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force resulting from unbalanced forces acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out), then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. And if an additional external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force. The amount of the change in velocity is determined by Newton's second law of motion.
What is newtons first law of motion also called?
Law of Inertia.
