No, according to Newton's laws of motion, "an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an opposing force." Basically, a force is needed to make an object start moving but the object will move on its own from kinetic energy.
In fact once the object is no longer 'accelerating' it is in a new 'inertial state' and may indeed not be considered as 'in motion' by an observer in the same state.
i.e. If a space shuttle is at rest with respect to the Space Station, it must then 'accelerate' (deceleration is the same as acceleration in science) to the state of motion of the Earth's surface to land. Anyone at rest on the runway will then also consider the shuttle as 'not moving'. So 'motion' and 'speed', are only ever 'RELATIVE' to a datum which must be specified.

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion states:
An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object out of motion will stay out of motion, unless met with an unbalanced force.
On Earth, to keep an object in motion, you will have to counter act the forces of gravity and friction in order to maintain movement.

Since an object moving in uniform circular motion keeps a constant speed there is no force necessary to keep it in motion?
false
Is a force to keep an object in motion?
No, a force changes an object's motion. F=ma= mdv/dt
Since an object moving in uniform circular moyton keeps a constant speed there is no force necessary to keep it in motion?
False (apex)
What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
What force holds an object in a circular object?
Centripetal force is necessary to keep an object in a circular path.

Is a force requierd to keep a object in motion?
No

What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
What is the force that keeps an object in motion?
An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.
What force holds an object in a circular object?
Centripetal force is necessary to keep an object in a circular path.
What force must you overcome to start an object moving?
Friction. Specifically, static friction. After the object begins to move, it will still be necessary to overcome rolling or sliding friction to keep it in motion.
Why is less force neede needed to keep an object moving than to start the object in motion.?
The best, purest answer is: Because no force at all is required to keep a moving object moving.
No force is necessary to?
to keep an object moving the way it is already moving .
What is low of motion?
an object will keep moving in a particular direction unless another force acts on the object
How does Neptune gravity keep Neptune in motion?
No force is necessary to keep a moving object in motion. But if you want it tofollow a curve, such as for example a closed orbit, then that takes force. Theforce that keeps Neptune in its closed orbit is the same force that keeps everyplanet, moon, comet, and asteroid in its own closed orbit around its own centralbody. It's the force of gravity.
