If gravity or inertia stop working what would happen to the earth?
If gravity or inertia were to suddenly stop working, the Earth would no longer be held in its orbit around the Sun and would go off into space in a straight line. It would no longer have the centripetal force needed to keep it in its circular orbit. The lack of gravity would also cause everything on Earth to float away into space.
Without sun's gravity would earth go into space in a straight line or a circle?
For the purposes of the argument, I am assuming that the earth already has a velocity (Speed and Direction). Any mass in space (i.e. a low gravity environment), would travel in a straight line until it comes into proximity of another object of sufficient mass.Basically, the earth would travel in a straight line until it came across another star, at which point it would change direction.If you want to think in bigger contexts, you could say that the earth will travel in a massive orbit around the galaxy since the galaxy's core is of sufficient mass to affect the direction of travel of earth.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of intertia?
If the objects have different velocities they will have different inertia.
When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
How would the motion of the moon change if there were no centripedial force acting on it?
If there were no centripetal force acting on the moon, it would move in a straight line at a constant velocity tangent to its orbit. This would cause it to travel in a straight path away from its current orbit, eventually moving away from Earth instead of staying in a stable orbit.
Would Planets travel in a straight line if it weren't for the force of the Sun's gravity?
Yes, if there were no force of the Sun's gravity, planets would travel in a straight line due to the concept of inertia, which describes an object's tendency to continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
What has the most inertia if they all travel at 5 meters per second?
The object with the most inertia would be the one with the most mass. Inertia is directly proportional to mass, so the object with the largest mass would have the most inertia when traveling at 5 meters per second.
What would happened if earth didn't have inertia?
If Earth didn't have inertia, everything on the planet would not resist changes in motion. This would mean that objects, including humans, would not have the tendency to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed. The absence of inertia would lead to chaotic and unpredictable movements, making life as we know it impossible.

Gravitational force works in straight and direct direction but rotating of the planets around the Sun are in circular paths How could the gravitation force impact in this way?
The revolution (not rotation) of the planets around the sun is not an example of straight gravity. It is a combination of two forces: gravity and inertia. Gravity, working without inertia, would pull the planets into the sun, in a straight line. Inertia, working without gravity, would send the planets sailing through the galaxy, in a straight line. The total effect of these two opposing forces is an orbital path. Gravity and inertia, in this situation, are also referred to as centripetal and centrifugal forces.

If a fly is in a car and is hovering not flying around would it be squashed on the back windscreen because it was not keeping up with the car or would it just travel with the car?
No. Due to the property of inertia it would travel with the car.
If the dummy were not wearing a seat belt what force would cause it to go through the windshield?
Inertia
What would happen if only inertia as only acting on earth?
If only inertia were acting on Earth, the planet would continue in its current state of motion in a straight line at a constant speed. It would not experience any acceleration or changes in direction. The absence of other forces, such as gravity, would cause Earth to move in a linear motion indefinitely until acted upon by an external force.
What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of inertia?
Different velocities is what causes objects to have the same mass and different amounts of inertia. This can be written in a formula.
Does soccer invole inertia?
Yes. Inertia is the resistance of the ball to acceleration. Without intertia, when you kick the ball, the ball wouldn't go anywhere, and would immedialtely fall straight down to the ground and stop immediately.
What is the law that states an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed?
That is Newton's First Law of Motion, or Newton's Law of Inertia. What it means that once an object is moving, its inertia will keep it moving until another force stops it. Also, an object at rest will stay at rest, until a force overcomes its inertia.
