This is an interesting point of Newtonian physics, because it requires you to look at the world a different way. Our normal experience is that when something is in motion, it only moves for a certain period of time, then it slows down and stops. No matter what it may be, whether a spinning top, a thrown ball, a falling rock, whatever, everything comes to a stop, sooner or later. Newton's insight is that motion does not just evaporate, it doesn't disappear of its own accord, motion stops because something stops it. Things stop moving because there is some kind of friction or other force which opposes that motion. Whereas, when an object is moving in an environment in which there is no force opposing that motion, it will just keep moving. Inertia is that property which allows motion to continue. Inertia does not just dissipate, it remains, until some other force counteracts it. That is why we say that an object in motion will tend to remain in motion. It does have that tendency, even though in our normal experience, other factors are going to overcome that tendency.
What else can I help you with?
How does inertia affect an object?
Inertia guarantees that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in that same motion, so long as there is no external force acting on that object. Alternately, there could be force acting on it as long as that force adds up to zero.
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.
Why does a moving object tend to stay in motion and a resting object tend to stay at rest?
This is described by Newton's first law of motion: an object will remain in its current state of motion (either at rest or moving at a constant speed) unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, objects have inertia, meaning they resist changes in their motion.
What is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion is called?
This tendency is called inertia, as described by Newton's First Law of Motion. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion.
What is The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as?
The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as inertia.
How does inertia affect an object?

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 does an object in motion always wants to do?
An object doesn't "want to" do anything. An object in motion has the natural tendency to remain in motion.
Why does a moving object tend to stay in motion and a resting object tend to stay at rest?
This is described by Newton's first law of motion: an object will remain in its current state of motion (either at rest or moving at a constant speed) unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, objects have inertia, meaning they resist changes in their motion.
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in straightline motion will remain in straightline motion unless acted upon by a n?
Force
What is the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest or an object in motion to remain in motion is called?
This tendency is called inertia, as described by Newton's First Law of Motion. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion.
Why is the book placed on the table remain in state of rest while force of gravity is applied?
An object at rest tends to remain at rest - an object in motion tends to remain in motion.
What is The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as?
The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as inertia.
What The property of inertia states that if a object is at rest it will tend to start moving?
The property of inertia states that an object will remain at rest or continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. This means an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion, unless an external force changes its state.
An object that is moving at constant velocity and continues at that velocity unless a net force acts on it illustrates?
Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force. This means that the object will not change its velocity unless there is a force pushing or pulling on it.
The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called orbital speed?
The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is actually described by Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Orbital speed specifically refers to the velocity required for an object to stay in orbit around another object due to the balance between the gravitational force and the centrifugal force.
What do balanced forces do to an objects motion?
in the presence of balance force the object will tend to remain in constant uniform motion, that means moving in a straight line at a speed that doesn't change including possibly zero
