Acceleration - that is the key. An object will continue to go at the same velocity (can equal zero for a stationary object) until it is accelerated somehow. It will then go faster, slower, left, right, up or down more than it is going originally. We measure this often with some sort of scale (i.e. weight). This can be caused by accelerated linear motion (elevator going up/down), rotation (centrifuge), or pull of one object to another (unknown). The debate over what CAUSES this acceleration between objects continues. Is it intrinsic to matter (protons, neutrons, electrons) or caused by a particle (graviton) or space/time warp around matter, or what?...
The resultant velocity (where it is going) and distance (where it is) is a vector sum of the velocity and acceleration components. Depending on these, the first object may join/crash into the second (meteor), or orbit around the second (Moon/Earth or planets/Sun), or escape the second (light past the Sun/Moon).
So I am not sure what the OP question is...
