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.

Drizzle, or Sprinkle... or just straight up ''light rain''
What are two forces that keep the planets revolving around the sun?
The force of gravity pulls the planet towards the Sun and this is balanced by the planet's "centrifugal force" away from the Sun. (Centrifugal force is called a "fictitious force" in physics. It's a mathematical way of representing the planet's tendency to move in a straight line path. Some people prefer to talk about the planet's "inertia" rather than centrifugal force.)
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
The tendency for objects to continue moving in a straight line is called?
inertia
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 is the tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line?
It is called 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?
An object at rest will tend to stay at rest and an object in motion will tend to stay in motion until an exterbal force acts on it is called INERTIA.
A stationary blood clot is called?
stationary clot is called a thrombus or a blood clot.
Why is it being called central tendency?
It is called central tendency because it represents the averages. Central tendency has three measurements: # Mean # Mode # Median
When an object is seen moving against a stationary background what is the stationary background called?
Parallax
When an object is moving in relation to a stationary object is the stationary object called the reference point?
true
An object tendacy to resist any change in motion is called?
This tendency is known as Inertia.
