The object would not cease moving, as there is no friction to act like a brake.

It sounds as if you're looking for an equation that will tell you that number. Thereason you haven't found it yet is that there's no such equation.The effect that force has on a moving object is to 'accelerate' it ... change thedirection it's moving, slow it down, speed it up, etc. ... only depending on thedirection of the force compared to the direction of the motion.If you want to stop a moving object, you apply a force to it opposite to the directionit's moving. It makes no difference how large or small the force is. As soon as it startsacting on the object, the object begins to slow down, and you only have to wait for itto stop. Of course, the larger the force is, the sooner the object stops. But in principle,you can stop an asteroid with the force of a feather, if you're willing to wait long enough.There's no such thing as the amount of force 'needed' to stop the object.
To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.

Because of friction, Friction is what causes moving objects to slow down and eventually stop. This is an important science idea we can use to describe the force that pushes back on a moving object and makes it slow down and stop.
When balanced forces are applied to a moving object, the object likely slow and eventually stop. How quickly that occurs depends on the amount of force.
