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.


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.


What is the amount of force required to keep an object moving?

the same force and dahni is awesome


Is it true that a force is required to keep an object moving in a given direction?

Yes! remember Newton law of movement? An object will keep on moving forever, as long as another force or object leaves it alone. Wonderful! Your second sentence is correct, and totally contradicts your first one. The answer is: No. It is false. No force is required to keep an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line.


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 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.


What is necessary for a force to move an object?

No force is required to keep an object in motion. Maintaining speed and direction seems to be "the natural thing to do" for any object. A force is required to CHANGE an object's velocity, whether you want to make it go faster, slow it down, or simply change the direction for a moving object.


What force keeps an object in free space going a constant speed?

No force is required to keep an object moving at constant speed in a straight line. Force is required only to change its speed or direction.


Is force always neede to keep an object moving?

Force is never needed to keep an object moving unless there is an opposite force trying to slow the object.


What is the force that keeps an object in motion?

An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.


What object can move with least force to move a distance of 5 meters?

There is no fundamental relationship between the distance an object moves and the force applied to it. Once an object is moving, no force is required to keep it moving, and the distance it can move without applied force is unlimited.
