Friction. Air Resistance or Water Resistance, depending on where you are and what your doing.

If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into fall?
its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down its the laws of motion. once a thing like the bullet has lost its force, it will stop moving and slowly go down
What is the force that keeps things from moving?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
A force is necessary to keep an object in motion?
No, according to Newton's laws of motion, "an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an opposing force." Basically, a force is needed to make an object start moving but the object will move on its own from kinetic energy. In fact once the object is no longer 'accelerating' it is in a new 'inertial state' and may indeed not be considered as 'in motion' by an observer in the same state. i.e. If a space shuttle is at rest with respect to the Space Station, it must then 'accelerate' (deceleration is the same as acceleration in science) to the state of motion of the Earth's surface to land. Anyone at rest on the runway will then also consider the shuttle as 'not moving'. So 'motion' and 'speed', are only ever 'RELATIVE' to a datum which must be specified.
Can an object be in motion if no external forces acting on it?
To make a body move from rest, external force is necessary. Once it starts moving, it will continue to do so until external forces act on it. So for an object to be in motion no force is required.
Science definition of work?
work-applying a force to an object and the object moving in the direction the force is applied so example: when you apply an upward force onto a box and move the box upward, you have done work. however, once you start walking with that box, the box is moving forward but you are applying force upward so you are not doing the same work. when the force and motion is not in the same direction, there is no work. when you're walking, your motion is going foward and the box you're holding, which is the force, is up so there is no work.So there fore the work you think your applying is not actually happening.
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.
Would there have to be an Unbalanced force acting on moving object?
There would have to be an unbalanced force put an object in motion but once in motion no force is necessary for it to remain in motion
If the friction equals the force why the object moves. why it doesn't stop?
Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force

What type of friction is the frictional force needed to start on object at rest into motion?
Static
What is the law that states an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed?
That is Newton's First Law of Motion, or Newton's Law of Inertia. What it means that once an object is moving, its inertia will keep it moving until another force stops it. Also, an object at rest will stay at rest, until a force overcomes its inertia.
Conflicting ideas of Galileo and Aristotle about motion?
af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls. What causes things to fall at different rates here on earth is air resistance. Aristotle: Believed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter object af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls.

If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink is there a horizontal force on it to keep it in motion?
Once contact with the object that provided the force to initiate the motion, i.e. your hand or the hockey stick, there is no force tending to keep it in motion. The inertia of the puck in motion will resist any change in that motion, but inertia is a physical property not a force. From a free body diagram the only apparent force acting on the puck would be air resistance tending to slow it down.
