It's about inertia and kinetic energy. Everything that has mass will want to continue with what it's doing. If it's motionless, you have to overcome inertia to get it moving, and if it is moving, inertia will keep it moving until friction has used up all of its kinetic energy.

What does the motion to continue is moot mean?

The phrase "motion to continue is moot" means that the request to extend or delay a legal proceeding is no longer relevant or necessary due to changed circumstances, such as if the original issue has been resolved or the upcoming event has already occurred. Essentially, there is no need for the court to consider or rule on the motion because the matter it pertains to is no longer in question.


Does inertia stop a ball that has been kicked?

No, inertia does not stop a ball once it has been kicked. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force, so the ball will continue moving until another force (like friction or gravity) slows it down or stops it.
