Yo Cross Fire,

I thought that Inertia was the propety of a body once in motion to stay in moti
on, that unless acted on by an outside force it will stay in motion. That this
property was independent of gravity not dependent. In fact if I remember right
it depends on mass of the object in question. Hell, it is what enables somethin
g to leave the solar system after acciving escape velocity, by coasting along o
n it's stored up velocity. Look in you physics 101 book to confirm this.
