Answer:

Oct 2, 2019 - However the moon is already increasing the size of its orbit around the earth and would continue to do so with a smaller earth just not quite as quickly. This is all assuming the object replacing the earth is still made out of the same stuff such as rock, metal and water.

Which causes objects in the universe to resist a change in speed or direction?

Inertia

Inertia is the property of a body of matter. It is described in Newton’s first law that an object will tend to remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed unless a force acts on the object. The higher the mass of an object the higher its inertia.

Explanation:

In the vacuum of space, this is certainly evident because a celestial mass like an asteroid can move in a straight line for over billions of light-years with more or less the same speed unless another force of the universe such as gravity and dark energy act on this object. The reason this is less evident on earth is due to gravity and air resistance of the atmosphere that will quickly reduce the speed on an object and change its trajectory.
