Any force will do, but the larger the force, the faster will the object stop. The force, of course, has to be applied in the direction opposite to the movement.

If an object is moving at a constant speed in one direction what is needed to change its speed or direction?
An unbalanced force
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.
What happens to the forces of an object when it reaches a constant speed?
An object maintains a constant velocity when the net force acting upon that object is zero. Therefore, a force pushing against the object that exactly opposes the force(s) due to friction (in both magnitude and direction) will result in a net force of zero, and the object will maintain a constant speed.
How can an object accelerate if it is moving at a constant speed?
by adding more force
What is an object that continues to move at a constant speed without a force?
Accelaration

An object will move at constant speed until?
An object will move at constant speed until acted upon by a force.
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 it correct to assume a motion of constant speed?
It depends on your setting. If the net force on an object is zero than the object will move with a constant speed. It will also move with a constant speed (but not velocity!) if a force forces the object to move in a circular motion.
What happens to the forces of an object when it reaches a constant speed?
An object maintains a constant velocity when the net force acting upon that object is zero. Therefore, a force pushing against the object that exactly opposes the force(s) due to friction (in both magnitude and direction) will result in a net force of zero, and the object will maintain a constant speed.
What is velocity if the net force is 0?
If the net force on an object is zero, then velocity of the object is constant ... it moves in a straight line at a constant speed.
How much force is needed to move an object?
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.
What is the force needed to lift a 2232000kg load at constant speed?
If the object is moving at constant speed, then the net force on it is zero.In order to have zero net force in the vertical direction, the lifting force is equal tothe gravitational force.The gravitational force is the object's weight. With a mass of 2,232,000 kg,the object's weight is21,873,600 newtons (4,920,712 pounds) .A force less than that much can't lift the load. A force greater than that much accelerates itupward. Once it's rising, a force of exactly that much keeps it rising at constant speed.
How is an able to maintain a constant speed when friction acts upon it?
An object maintains a constant velocity when the net force acting upon that object is zero. Therefore, a force pushing against the object that exactly opposes the force(s) due to friction (in both magnitude and direction) will result in a net force of zero, and the object will maintain a constant speed.

What is an object that continues to move at a constant speed without a force?
Accelaration
An object moving with a constant speed of 2 net force?
Because F=ma, If an object is moving at a constant velocity(speed), then there can be no net force acting on the object. This means that there is a dispersive force i.e Drag or friction acting on the object equal to 2 but in the opposite direction to motion.
