What is the force that keeps an object in motion?

An object which is moving doesn't need a force 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 does force affect an object's motion?

When a force is acted on an object the motion changes. 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 a force is aplied to an object in motion it either accelerates, or it will stop once met with sed unbalanced force.


What is low of motion?

an object will keep moving in a particular direction unless another force acts on the object


Why does object in motion stay in motion?

An object in motion stays in motion because it requires a force to change the motion. No force, no change.


What is first low of motion?

an object will keep moving in a particular direction unless another force acts on the object


How are forces related to motion?

Balanced force can keep object in constant uniform motion only when moved. Unbalanced force can change state of motion of the object. If the object is at rest by a balanced force or unbalanced it can be set into motion or vice versa.


Since an object moving in uniform circular motion keeps a constant speed there is no force necessary to keep it in motion?

false


How does force affect the motion of an object?

If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.


What is the definition of a pulling force?

force applied to an object as a pulling motion towards a fixed or an object in equal motion with the object.
