Issac Newton's first law ... A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force (usually gravity or perhaps a brick wall in your example)

Squid and Green G have combined to give the correct answer. Inertia means that a body will tend to keep doing what its doing... a still body is hard to get moving, and a moving body is hard to stop. Think of trying to push a car from a standing start (hard), and then trying to stop that car once it's moving (also hard).
Inertia is the effect of, as Squid says, Newton's first law of physics.

Centrifugal force, I believe - a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
