Why would an orange roll off your cafeteria tray if you stopped suddenly?

An orange would roll off of your cafeteria tray if you stopped suddenly because of inertia. Inertia means that something that is moving will continue moving until something causes it to stop.
In English, the tray is moving, the orange is moving (both at the same speed and direction). When you stop the tray, you didn't stop the orange -- it rolls.

well thats easy, it would fly away from the sun in a straight line.
Why would you choose killigrams to measure the mass of an orange?
to get the correct weight
What would happen to a solar system if gravity suddenly stopped working?
If the force of gravity would suddenly stop acting on the planets, they would all move in straight lines tangential to their current path (meaning, due to their momentum, they would keep moving straight and not keep on being turned and pulled toward the sun). To see an example, take a yo-yo by the string and start spinning it around over your head. When you let go, you will see the object continue in a straight line which is a tangent to the position of the circle it was in while you were holding on to the string.

If the force of gravity suddenly stopped acting on the planets they would do what?
Gravity is what keeps the planets going in their orbits. If gravity just stopped, then the planets would go flying in a straight line tangent to their orbit.
If the force of gravitation between the earth and the moon were to suddenly disappearthe moon would start to move?
The moon is moving (around the sun) IF the Earth's gravity suddenly stopped, the moon would continue to go around the sun. IF all gravity stopped, the moon would travel in a straight line in whatever direction it was going in at the time.
What would happen if ATP prodution suddenly stopped?
The cell will not be in a position to produce ATP by using the citric acid cycle.
How long time will earth move in its orbit if the sun suddenly disappeared?
If the sun Sol suddenly vanished, the earth would continue on a straight line; in other words, its orbit about Sol would be over/stopped immediately.
Suppose the gravitation between Earth and the sun suddenly stopped What path would Earth follow?
the earth would rotate the moon or the next closest planet
