What would happen if gravity and inertia force no longer existed?

Well, first of all, the Earth would no longer follow an 'orbit', and would take off
in a straight line at a constant speed, leaving the sun behind very soon.
Next, the Earth's atmosphere would quickly disappear, because gravity is what
holds all that gas snuggled around the planet.
Then, all the people, cars, animals, buses, train cars, and anything else that's
not nailed down, would fly away, because gravity is what holds us on the surface
and making that circular motion as the Earth spins. We too would take off, in a
straight line at a constant speed.
I say "first of all", because these are the first effects that come to mind. But
none of that matters, because most likely, the Earth would simply fall apart,
like any other spinning mudball that's not stuck together well enough. Some
big pieces, and huge numbers of little pieces, would all take off, in straight
lines and at constant speeds.

What keeps a probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Inertia. Newton's first law.
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
What is one impossible thing to do in zero gravity?
There is no up or down, as it is no longer relative, therefore the one thing you cannot do in zero gravity is 'fall down.' -Michael Carew
How does accelaration due to gravity effect the time period of a simple pendulum?
Normally the acceleration of gravity is not a factor in the period of a simple pendulum because it does not change on Earth, but if it were to be put on another celestial body the period would change. As gravity increases the period is shorter and as the gravity is less the period is longer.
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
What would happen to a species of plants if its pollinator no longer existed?
The plant would go extinct.
What would happen to the process of the sea floor spreading if the heat from the core no longer existed?
A deep trench to the mantle
What whould happen if the time of rotation for Earth was different?
The days would be longer, and the gravity would be higher if the rotation time of earth was longer. The days would be shorter, and there would be less gravity on Earth if the rotation time decreased.
How do seatbelts and other safety devices relate to science Inertia Gravity Force?
Because inertia is how someone doesn't want to stop moving. Seatbelts relate by stopping the forward motion. thats right, inertia is an objects tendancy to resist change, seatbelts help to absorb some of the person's inertial energy by stretching a little. meaning the persons slows to a stop over a longer amount of time.
What keeps the probe moving in space after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Inertia.
Why is the braking distance longer when the car is travelling at a higher speed?
Inertia.
