Newton's 1st law says that an object in motion will stay in motion. So no external force is required.
In most instances, there are already external forces, so in real world settings most objects in motion will require a force to stay in motion, because there are other external forces (like friction and gravity) that are already applied to that object.

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.
Is a force to keep an object in motion?
No, a force changes an object's motion. F=ma= mdv/dt
What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
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.

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.
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.
Is a force to keep an object in motion?
No, a force changes an object's motion. F=ma= mdv/dt
Is a force requierd to keep a object in motion?
No
Is a force required to keep an odject in motion?
no
What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
What is the force that keeps an object in motion?
An object which is moving doesn't need a force to keep it moving.
The force of an object pulling toward the center of a circular path?

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.
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 needed to keep an object moving than to start the object in motion?
1). Because maintaining an object in motion requires no force, but causing a non-moving object to move involves acceleration which does require force. 2). Because kinetic friction is generally less than static friction.
