What will a bowling ball that is standing still on a table do?
it will accelerate on its own if left alone.
it will remain still because it has too much inertia to move.
it will start to move on its own and then fall off.
it will not move unless acted on by another force.

A bowling ball that is standing still on a table will not move unless acted on by another force.

It will not move unless acted on by another force.

Explanation:

The force acting downwards due to gravity and force of the table on a ball which is pushing up are getting balanced. Thus, unless a force is applied onto the ball it will not move.

In short, the law of motion defines that the object stays at rest and the object moves as long as it is exposed to an external force. There is no inertia on the bowling ball. The object's resistance to any variation in motions is called inertia.
