The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?

inertia


What is the tendency of moving objects to keep moving in a straight line?

It is called inertia.


Why do objects go in a straight line after the centripital force is not exterted anymore?

That's just a special case of inertia. In general, objects have the tendency to move in a straight line, and at a constant speed, when no force is acting on them.


Why doesn't the Moon travel in straight line and continue in space?

The normal tendency of objects - when no force acts on them - is to move in a straight line, at a constant speed and direction (that is, a constant velocity). However, when there is a force, an object's velocity may be changed. That's what happens to the Moon, as well as to other objects in some orbit. In this case, the force is provided by gravitational attraction from Earth.


Why do objects remained at rest?

As you can observe, they will not ALWAYS be at rest. Objects have a tendency to remain at rest, because:* Inertia means that if no force acts on an object, it will remain at rest if it was at rest; or, if it was moving, it will continue moving at the same velocity. * Friction forces will usually slow objects down.


What is the tendency for objects to resist changes in the motion?

Inertia.

Angular acceleration


Why Halleys Comet continues to travel?

It is the natural tendency of moving objects to continue moving. It won't suddenly stop, unless it crashes into some planet or something.


Why do objects in real life do not travel on straight line at constant speed?

Inertia is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line. They "want" to go in a straight line, so to speak. However that is changed when a force acts on them. In the case of planets, that force is the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun.So that's why planets orbit the Sun instead of traveling in a straight line.


Intertia is the tendency of any object to maintain what?

Inertia is the tendency that all objects resist a change in motion
