How do you describe inertia?
the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest and of a body in motion to remain in motion
What is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion is called?
Newton's first law of motion
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straight-line motion will remain in straight-line motion unless acted upon by a(n) .?
...by an unbalanced force
An object at rest stays at rest until a force acts on it?
Yes. If it is at rest to start with, it will remain at rest until an external force acts on it. Likewise, an object starting in motion will remain in that same motion until an external force acts on it.
What is mometum?
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"

Why is the book placed on the table remain in state of rest while force of gravity is applied?
An object at rest tends to remain at rest - an object in motion tends to remain in motion.
What is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion is called?
Newton's first law of motion
An object at rest will remain at rest unless this type of force acts upon it?
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. This is part of Newton's third law of motion.
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straightline motion will remain in straightline motion unless acted upon by a n?
Force
An object at rest will remain at rest if?
All forces acting on it cancel out.
What is the tendency for objects that are at rest to remain at rest?
The term you are looking for is 'inertia'.
If the forces are unbalanced will the object remain at rest?
no
What is second motion?
Newton's Laws of Motion: 1. A body at rest tends to remain at rest. 2. A body in motion tends to remain in motion with a uniform velocity unless acted on by some outside force. 3. For ever action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Defined law of inertia?
bodies in motion will remain in motion and bodies at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net force.
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 will remain at rest unless something acts upon it?
Anything that's already at rest will.
