Does the law of inertia pertain to moving objects?

Answer 1

Provided an object is not accelerating (or changing in mass) the law of inertia applies.

According to the law of inertia, unless acted upon by a non-zero net external force, an object at rest or in motion maintains its velocity (speed and direction).

Yes, the law of inertia pertains to moving objects. It is one of the fundamental principles of classical mechanics proposed by Sir Isaac Newton. The law states that an object will remain in its state of motion (either at rest or moving with constant velocity) unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, if an object is already in motion, it will continue to move in the same direction and with the same speed unless some external force acts upon it to change its motion. This principle applies to both stationary and moving objects.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
