An unbalanced force
The answer is force because Force is needed to change the direction of a moving mass.
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
First of all, there's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But we'll run past that and go directly to the question. Strange as it may seem, no force is required to keep a moving object moving. Force is only needed to change the object's speed, or to change the direction in which it's moving. When no force acts on it, it keeps moving just fine, at a constant speed and heading in a straight line. This has all been known for roughly 500 years now.
how does moving a fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object
An unbalanced force
The answer is force because Force is needed to change the direction of a moving mass.
Yes, that's a firm. Net force is needed in order to change the speed or direction of moving matter. Uh huh.
speed if no direction is needed velocity if direction is needed
Yes. An unbalanced force is needed to change the direction of an object's motion. This is an example of Newton's first law of motion which states that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion in a straight line at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Constant velocity means the same speed and direction. So if the direction changes, so does the velocity.
Once an object is moving in space, no fuel is needed tokeep it going, only to change its speed or direction.

There is no such thing as an amount of force needed to move a certain distance or a certain direction. Asteroids, comets, moons, and planets have been moving trillions of miles through space for billions of years with either no force on them at all, or no force in the direction they're moving. You may have heard of Newton's First Law. It says that an object with no forces acting on it keeps moving in a straight line at a constant speed, which is kind of another good way of saying that it can move as far as you want it to with no force on it.

While the box is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, the push only has to overcome the kinetic friction. Whatever the speed is, and whatever the weight of the box is, 4 pounds of push IN THE DIRECTION THE BOX IS MOVING will keep this one going.
