Answer:

Inertia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inertia is the property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force or the resistance to change in velocity by an external force.

Inertia is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line with constant speed.

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).
