There is no such thing as an amount of force needed to move a certain distance.
Asteroids, comets, moons, and planets have been moving trillions of miles through
space for billions of years with either no force on them at all, or no force in the
direction they're moving.
You may have heard of Newton's First Law. It says that an object with no forces
acting on it keeps moving in a straight line at a constant speed, which is kind of
another good way of saying that it can move as far as you want it to with no force
on it.

What is the scientific term for a measure of the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?
There is no such term, because the distance an object moves does not directly depend on the force that acts on it.
Is work the measure of amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?
No, work is related to energy, not to force.
How can gravity be measured?
Gravity can be measured many ways. You can drop an object and observe how it falls and determine the objects acceleration. With that in hand you can then calculate the force required, and measure gravity that way. You can use a scale, and determine the force acting upon the object placed on it to compress the springs a certain distance, or deflect it a certain distance (depending on the scale's design). A pendulum can be used to measure gravity. The period of a pendulum is directly influenced by the magnitude of the accelerating force (gravity) you can measure altitude with a sensitive pendulum. As gravity is a force, any method you would use to determine the force of one object exerting upon another would work to measure gravity.
What is needed for work to be done on an object?
As a simplified explanation, work = force x distance. You need to apply a force over a certain distance, for work to be done.
Work is done when?
work= force × distance so if an object moves 4metres, and the force to move it is 2N, (Newtons) the work done would be 4 × 2 = 8Joules (Work is measured in Joules) In other words, work is done when an object moves a certain distance when a certain amount of force is applied to it.

What is a measureof the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?
Energy. The unit of measure for energy is the Newton (N).
If you have a force acting on an object for a certain period of time how can you find the distance traveled?
There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.

Work is done when a force is used to do what to an object over a certain distance?
Work is done when a force is used to move an object.Work = force x distance.
The use of force moved object to a certain distance what is it called?
the answer is isolated energy

What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?
The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.
What must happen to an object if a force does work on it?
Move a certain distance since Work Done=Fd
What is the amount of force needed to change an objects motion?
-- Measure the force you use to pull the object. You can connect a spring "fish" scale to the object, pull on the scale, and read off the force while the object moves. -- Measure the distance the object moves. Multiply the force by the distance. The product is the energy used to move it. (Be careful with the units.)
