BOOOO
The principle of inertia is one of the fundamental laws of classical physics which are used to describe the motion of matter and how it is affected by applied forces. Inertia is the property of an object to remain constant in velocity unless acted upon by an outside force. Inertia is dependent upon the mass and shape of the object. The concept of inertia is today most commonly defined using Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion, which states:
Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight ahead, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed. [Cohen & Whitman 1999 translation]

Yup. For #3, the card read something along the lines of them running over 2,000 yards, but I would definitely take your answer for it.
Aristotle was the first to propose the idea of inertia, but Galileo developed it first. Then Newton came along. Though I suppose it could also be argued that Copernicus was the first to develop Aristotle's concept, but that's neither here nor there.
