What is the stationary object against which motion can be measured?
There is no such thing as a "stationary" object. Every motion is always measured relative to something else, which, coincidentally, is what the question is all about. The thing against which motion is measured is called the "reference frame".
What is a force that maintains motion called?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
What is it called when you are fooled into thinking something is moving when its not?
Apperant motion
What furnishes centipetal force of earth to go around it?
it is something called vertical motion
When you throw something what do you call its curved path?
The curved path is called projectile motion.

What do you call it when there is two different force motion pull and gravity?
it is called Motion against gravity

Apperant motion
What is the change in position compared to something that doesn't move called?
motion =)
Why do some animals move in a jerky motion ie squirrels ants pigeons etc?
Some animals move in a what is called a "jerky motion" because in their genes their is something that is called motinasiones. Witch means move fast before you get killed fast.
What is the apparent westward movement of a planet against background of star is called?
Retrograde Motion
What is the apparent westward movement of a planet against the background of star called?
Retrograde Motion
What is newtons first called?
Newton's First Law is called his First Law of Motion. It states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless influenced by something else that slows or stops its motion. Likewise, an object at rest - not moving - tends to stay at rest unless influenced by something else that starts it moving.
Why do bike stops when breaks are applied?
Because friction is exerted against the direction of motion
What is it called when an object is moving?
momentum Further answer Momentum is the reason something keeps moving, it's not really what it's called. Motion or perpetual motion is more like the answer to the question.
What furnishes centipetal force of earth to go around it?
it is something called vertical motion
