A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
The word you want is "inertia", but it's not a force, it's the name given to a tendency or quality that matter posesses. Force is the ability to perform work, and an object at rest has no force. That object needs force to put it in motion, and once in motion, it needs an opposing force to stop it.
No force is needed to keep an object moving. An object with no forces on it
keeps moving at a constant speed in a straight line.
If there is any force acting on it to make it slow down, then you need just enough
force to cancel the first one, in order to keep it moving.
Newtons 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.
Inertia pretty much, also you may want to read this:
Newtons 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.
If the 'thing' is sitting on a tabletop, then friction prevents it from moving
horizontally, and the normal constraint force ... the reaction to its weight ...
prevents vertical motion.
If it's hanging on a rope from the ceiling, then the tension in the rope is doing it.
The force is called gravity.
No force. It will remain in place until a force acts upon it.
On this planet, friction or glue will do the job.

centripetal
The Centripetal force keeps a object moving in a circle and its force and acceleration are directed toward the center of the circle
Engine power is rated in horsepower and in torque. In simple terms torque is the power that gets things moving and horsepower is the force that keeps things moving.
A moving object keeps moving, unless you force it to stop. It keeps moving in a straight line, unless you force it to change direction. It keeps moving at a constant speed, unless you force it to speed up or slow down. A stationary object remains stationary, unless you force it to start moving.
An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.

Momentum.
Doooppnt know
Things will eventually stop if there is a force to stop it... and no force that keeps it moving. If there are no forces on an object, or the forces are balanced (the friction forces on a car are compensated by forces that pull it forward), it will continue moving.
It is the centripetal force of the sun that's keeping the earth moving in its path

The force you seek is gravity.
