What is the stationary arm on a Sundial called?
The stationary arm on a sundial is called the gnomon. It is the part that casts a shadow onto the sundial face to indicate the time based on the position of the Sun in the sky.
What is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving?
An object that is IN motion tends to remain that way. Check out Newton's laws of thermodynamics. Basically, he postulated that things moving tend to keep moving, things stationary tend to stay stationary, and left to themselves, most thing degrade into chaos. This might sound silly, but you have to examine the statement a bit more. It's 'outside' forces, like gravity, friction, etc that act on objects to alter their movement or lack thereof. If you can imagine, for example a large glass bowl that has a vacuum inside it, and somehow, you could negate the force of gravity and friction as well. If you set a top spinning in the bowl, it would continue to spin forever - no friction to slow it down, no gravity to cause it to tip over, no air to cause drag, etc etc.
What are straight clouds called?
Lacunosus
What is it called when the sun earth and the moon are in straight alignment?
Eclipse
What is dhruv Tara called in English?
"Dhruv Tara" is called "Polaris" in English. It is commonly known as the North Star and appears stationary in the sky due to its alignment with the Earth's axis.
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 tendency called of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in orbit?
That tendency is called inertia. It is an object's resistance to changes in its motion and is dependent on its mass.
The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?
inertia
What is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at a rest until a force acts upon is called?
The tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest is called inertia. Objects will continue moving in a straight line or remain stationary unless an external force is applied to change their motion.
What is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line?
It is known as inertia, the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. This means that an object in motion will continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
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.
What Objects that are at rest while objects that are moving tend to continue moving in a straight line this tendency is called?
The tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force is known as inertia.
What is the tendency of moving objects to keep moving in a straight line?
It is called inertia.
What is the tendency of moving object to continue moving in a straight line?
The tendency of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line is known as inertia. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
What do you call the tendency of matter to stay at rest if it is at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity if it is in motion?
That tendency is called inertia. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain at rest or continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
What is a person who sells stationary called?
A person who sells stationary is typically called a stationer or a stationary store owner.
When an object wants to continue in the motion it's already traveling in is called?
That is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether it is moving or at rest.
