If you were in outer space and threw a ball how much force would be required to keep it moving through the vacuum of space?

Zero
This is a very important principle, which the questioner should take time to think about.

Is it true that to keep an object moving a force must be apllied?
No, it is untrue. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.
Can the object be in motion if the net force acting on it is zero?
Yes. No force is required to keep moving - a force is required, however, to change the velocity.
What force keeps a space probe moving?
No force is required to keep something moving. According to Newton's Second Law, you need a force to speed something up, or to slow something down - not to keep it moving.
What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
What does moving an object through a distance transfer?
force and energy
Is there is friction if the object is moving in vacuum with 0 gravitational force?
No, there is not.
Is it true that to keep an object moving a force must be apllied?
No, it is untrue. No force is required to keep a moving object moving.
Can the object be in motion if the net force acting on it is zero?
Yes. No force is required to keep moving - a force is required, however, to change the velocity.
What is the amount of force required to keep an object moving?
the same force and dahni is awesome
Do magnetic lines of force pass through vaccum or not?
yes, they pass through vacuum
What force keeps a space probe moving?
No force is required to keep something moving. According to Newton's Second Law, you need a force to speed something up, or to slow something down - not to keep it moving.
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.
How do you work out force if theres a mass and distance?
If the mass is already moving, then no force is required to move it any desired distance,and if it's not moving, then any force will start it moving. We'll say that there's no definiterelationship between force, mass, and distance.
What forces enable an object to be in motion?
If an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving. Forces are required to CHANGE its motion, for example, to speed it up, or to slow it down.
How do planets in the solar system keep moving?
An object has a general tendency to keep moving - that's how our Universe works. No force is required to keep an object moving - unless there is another force that slows it down. Here on Earth, there are usually frictional forces that slow objects down, and therefore a force is required to counteract the frictional forces.
How much force is required to stop a train moving at 60mph?
depends on the mass of the train
What is a force that causes resistance to moving through the air?
