I believe this is known as inertia.

The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?
inertia
When a car crashes where does the kinetic energy go?
Into the object(s) with which the car crashed into.
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
The natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with an constant velocity is called?
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.
A measure of the average thermal energy to an object the particles moving in matter is called what?
energy
What tendency of moving matter to keep moving in the same direction?
inertia
What is the tendency of matter to continue moving in the same direction?
I am wondering the same question.........I was tolled that it gravity, that makes no sense
What is the ability to stay at rest or to keep moving?
INERTIA. This is not an 'ability', but rather a PROPERTY of Matter.- Newtons First Law, "inertia", the propety of matter defined by a still object's tendency to stay at rest, and a moving object's tendency to keep moving at the same velocity.
What is the tendency of moving objects to keep moving in a straight line?
It is called inertia.
What is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line?
It is called inertia.
What do you call the tendency of matter to stay at at rest if it is at rest of to to move if it is moving?
The Law of Inertia.
The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?
inertia
What is the tendency of a moving object when no force acts upon it?
its called nweton
If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
Is net force needed to change the speed or direction of moving matter?
Yes, that's a firm. Net force is needed in order to change the speed or direction of moving matter. Uh huh.
What is the tendency called of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place?
Inertia
What is the speed and direction of a moving body called?
"velocity"
