What do we call the tendency of a object to stay at rest or to stay in motion?
We use the term inertia 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.
How bodies in the wider Universe are moving?
On the largest scale, the general tendency is for galaxies to move away from one another. In other words, the Universe is expanding.
In which direction are mostly all galaxies moving?
Actually, most galaxies are all moving away from all other galaxies, not just from ours. The exception is the Andromeda galaxy, with which the Milky Way is on a collision course.
Do particles move closer or farther apart when freezing?
Yes. All atomic sized particles move, by vibrating. no matter how cold they are.
What is an ice mass formed from years of accumulated snow that may be moving very slowly?
We call this a glacier. Some do not move but most do.

Force can make matter move but it cannot stop matter from moving?
Force can make matter move: that's true. Force cannot stop matter from moving: untrue. When u run, can someone catch you by force u to stop? Yes they can.
Can you move out at the age of 18 without your parents consent in the state of New York If not and you try to move out and they call the cops what will the cops do in Alabama?
if you are 18 you can move out no matter what. they can call the police and it will not matter. good luck loner
When will you move to Florida?
well it doesnt matter where or when i want to or when a freind or family will go but what matter is when do you want to go or how do you feel about moving there.

What matter does not move?
No matter or energy does not move. usually, frozen matter tends to move slower than warmer substances because if you heat up something, the atoms move more rapidly, moving into each other. If you do the opposite to that something, the atoms will slow down. -kos
What happens to matter to when you add thermal energy?
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
Why do planet stay in their orbit?
The "inertia" of the moving planet combines with the force of gravity between the planet and the Sun, causing the planet to move in an orbit around the Sun. "Inertia" is basically the tendency for a moving body to move in a straight line unless acted upon by a force (such as gravity).
Which galaxies appear to move away the fastest?
Those that are already farthest from us do.The farther they are from us, no matter in which direction, the faster they're receding from us.The general tendency is that galaxies that are farther from us move away from us faster.
What is meant by centripetal force?
That refers to the force required to keep something moving in a circle. Since the natural tendency of objects is to move in a straight line, it requires a force to make something move any other way.
Does molecules of matter begin to move when heat is present?
Molecules are always moving unless there temperature is absolute zero..they move faster the higher the temperature
What type of pattern does matter moves in?
That depends on the type of matter. Say, for example, the matter is a chair that you are moving. Then the matter would move in the direction in which you are pushing (or pulling, throwing, etc). If you define matter as a particule (such as an atom), then it would depend on the type of particle. Different particles move in different ways, depending on the type. If you are asking about particules moving as a smaller, less substantial unit (such as a neuronal transmission) then the pattern would be linear. But the broad answer really is that it depends on the type of matter.
