Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The term inertia is also used to describe the resistance of an object to any change in its motion. If an object is not moving, it doesn't want to move. If it is moving, it doesn't want to change is speed or the direction it is moving. This is covered by Newton in his laws of motion.
The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called inertia of motion.
Newton's first law of motion
the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest and of a body in motion to remain in motion
momentum is an object's tendency to remain in motion, or to remain at rest. momentum can also be described as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. "an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force"

The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called inertia of motion.
Newton's first law of motion
An object doesn't "want to" do anything. An object in motion has the natural tendency to remain in motion.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object remains at a constant velocity unless it has an unbalanced force acting upon it. That constant velocity includes zero, which means that a stationary object with no force applied to it will not move. Since velocity includes direction, then a moving object with no force applied to it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed.That tendency is called inertia.
Inertia. Also described in Newton's First law of Motion.

Inertia
Intertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity: if an object is at rest, it has the tendency to remain at rest; if it is moving, the tendency is to keep moving with the same velocity. That is what happens if no forces act on the object; if forces act on the object, including gravitation, friction, and others, its velocity will change.

An object that is IN motion tends to remain that way. Check out Newton's laws of thermodynamics. Basically, he postulated that things moving tend to keep moving, things stationary tend to stay stationary, and left to themselves, most thing degrade into chaos. This might sound silly, but you have to examine the statement a bit more. It's 'outside' forces, like gravity, friction, etc that act on objects to alter their movement or lack thereof. If you can imagine, for example a large glass bowl that has a vacuum inside it, and somehow, you could negate the force of gravity and friction as well. If you set a top spinning in the bowl, it would continue to spin forever - no friction to slow it down, no gravity to cause it to tip over, no air to cause drag, etc etc.
