Field motion ( as opposed to collision motion) which are forces like gravity. And Static motion ( as opposed to kinetic motion)
Static motion is where an object moves on or around another moving object. (Circular motion)

Hope this helped

The correct option for above statement is:

Gravity and Inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, Gravity from our sun holds us at an essentially same range all the way around. It makes sure we don't sling off into the wisdom of our solar system. Inertia, keeps us in movement, if there were no inertia, our revolution would stop at a standstill. If we stayed, we would be sucked into the sun by its gravity.
