Answer:

The right answer is inertia.

Explanation:

This name is given to the tendency of an object that is moving to remain that way, or if it is resting remain that way until an external force act upon it. Basically it means an object does what they are doing unless a force changes their speed or direction.

It's the natural tendency of things to keep going unless there's something trying to stop them.

It's usually called "inertia".

Don't get the idea from all of this that things stop unless there's something to keep them going.  The truth is exactly the opposite:  Things keep going unless there's something to make them stop.

What are the two main types of energy?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.
