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 a moving object to keep moving in a straight line?
It is called inertia.
What measures an object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving?
inertia
What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
To keep moving in a straight line. This is rather hard to show because the gravitational pull of the Earth is hard to escape without a rocket.
What is the fundamental law of energy?
I suppose you mean "inertia". That is the tendency of an object to remain at rest if it is resting, or to keep moving (at a constant velocity) if it is moving.
What is the tendency of matter to keep moving in the same direction called?
I believe this is known as inertia.

How can you use the word inter in a sentence?
Interia is the tendency of a moving object to keep a moving in a straight line
Why do you have valves in your heart?
To Keep the blood moving in the right direction
What word is used to show an objects tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity?
Inertia
Why does it make more energy to stop a moving ball than the energy required to keep it moving?
The natural tendency of a moving object is to keep moving. And it doesn't really require energy to stop it; in fact, in theory, you can gain energy from it. What is required is a force.
What is inertia of rest and inertia of motion?
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.
What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
To keep moving in a straight line. This is rather hard to show because the gravitational pull of the Earth is hard to escape without a rocket.
How much force is necessary to keep an object moving in the same speed and direction?
None.
