Galileo was the first to say that an object will continue in a straight line at constant speed unless acted on by a force.
Newton's law of gravity and laws of motion were used to give a mathematical proof of the laws of planetary motion discovered by Kepler from measurements of the planets' positions done by Tycho Brahe at the end of the 16th century.
Every where. Roll a ball on the floor. As soon as it leaves your hand it continues to roll in a straight line. The outside force, friction slows it down. A rock can sit on the ground for a long time until an outside force from someone picks up he rock, or kicks it. Shoot an arrow thru the air. It would continue in a straight line if gravity did not pull it down to earth.
The law of Inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.
If you mean an external force when you say unbalanced forces, yes. Newton's First Law of motion is also known as law of inertia. Inertia is the movement of mass with out any external forces or influences acting on that mass.
A force, that may come from a collision with ... Another object.
Inertia is an object's resistance to a change in speed or direction until an external force is applied to it.
Gravity Electro-magnetic force Direct impact or contact
Inertia is the tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest, or an object's tendency to stay in motion in a straight line until acted upon by an outside force. A tractor must overcome resting inertia to move forward and must overcome moving inertia to stop.

Gravity, per say, doesn't. It's only a player in the game. With only gravity, things would slowly be sucked into the sun, like a black hole. So that's where the other team, inertia comes in. Inertia is Newton's first law of motion, stating that an object in motion will continue to stay in motion unless another outside force messes with it. And so we have two major forces, gravity and inertia, pushing on one another. Neither win, and as gravity wants to pull into itself and inertia wants to fly away in a straight line, we get a circular path for the object that most call, an orbit.
This is due to Newtons first law. Because their is no gravity the object will move in a straight line unless a outside force is applied to it. Such as the gravity of a near by planet/object.
In regards to physics, INERTIA is the tendency of a body to resist motion or to remain at rest. However, INERTIA, unless acted upon by an outside force, can also be a body moving in a straight line to stay in the motion of a straight line. This question is an inappropriate use of copywrited material.
Any and all matter.
The law of Inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.
three principles apply here, inertia, gravity and friction. The sudden turn changes the gravity of the object as it pulls less than a g of g force, then inertia takes over because an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force and this force is friction because it will come to a stop.
It's Newton's first law of motion: "An oject in motion will stay in motion (with the same velocity) until an outside force acts upon it and an object at rest will stay at rest until an outside force acts upon it."
Inertia An object in motion shall continue on in a straight line at the same rate inless disturbed by an outside force. An object at rest shall stay at rest unless disturbed by an outside force
Inertia states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force.
