Yes, according to the principles of classical mechanics, all motions require a cause. Inertia, external forces, or interactions with other objects are typically the causes of motion. Without a cause, an object would remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.

Not all motions necessarily require a cause. According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion continues in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a net external force. In the absence of external forces, an object can maintain its state of motion. This concept is known as inertia. While forces typically induce changes in motion, a lack of external influences allows for the persistence of existing states of rest or uniform motion, highlighting the inherent property of inertia in certain scenarios.
