∙ 11y agoGalileo 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.

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 is the force of attraction between objects with mass. In the case of objects in motion around the Sun, the gravitational pull of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. The combination of the object's velocity and the gravitational force between the object and the Sun results in a stable orbit.
Gravity Electro-magnetic force Direct impact or contact
The gravitational force produced by the sun keeps the planets in orbit around it. This force pulls the planets toward the sun, creating a continuous circular motion rather than a straight line out into space.
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.

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.
The body resists a change in motion due to inertia, which is the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is influenced by the mass of an object - the greater the mass, the greater the resistance to a change in motion.
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.
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
When you first throw a ball inertia is the main property. Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Those outside forces are air friction and gravity. Without those forces the ball would keep traveling forever in the direction it was going when it first left your hand. Air friction will slow it down so when the ball is caught (or lands) it is traveling slightly slower than when you first threw it. Gravity is the force that pulls it back down to Earth (or you can think of it as the force that gives it that nice arc).
