All forces can lead to movement. A ball falls from the sky because of the gravitational force, but if we strap rockets to it the thrust will also move it. Likewise for the other forces.
electric (between charges)
magnetic between magnets)
weak( during particles decay)
strong nuclear force holding atomic nucleus together)
gravitational (between masses)
The force itself is the definition of cause to the motion or more specifically for the change in motion.
If there is no force the body (atom, electron, plank of wood, planet, star or galaxy) will stay still or move with constant speed.
The force is the cause of movement from stillness or the cause for change of direction or acceleration.
Newton laws are the basis of this definition

What is a force that maintains motion called?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
What effect does friction have when you try to move a object at rest?
Sticking. An extra force is required to start the motion, above the force required to maintain motion.
What is the force that maintain motion?
There is no force that maintains motion by itself. Motion is maintained by Newton's Law, that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Forces can act to stop the motion, such as the force from friction, in which case some other force, such as the force provided by a car's engine, is what keeps the car from slowing down and stopping. But, in the absence of forces acting against motion, such as friction, an object will remain in motion with no forces acting on it.
What type of force is needed to cause a change in an object's motion?
A net force from something outside of the system.
A force is needed to change the motion of an object?
Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.
Without friction what net force is needed to maintain a 1000 kg car in uniform motion for 30 minutes?
3kg
What do you call a force that maintains motion?
It could be called superfluous. No force is necessary to maintain motion.
What is a force that maintains motion called?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
What force is needed to keep an object in circular motion?
Centripetal force
What is needed to change an objects motion?
an unbalanced force
What effect does friction have when you try to move a object at rest?
Sticking. An extra force is required to start the motion, above the force required to maintain motion.
What net force is needed to maintain a 1000 kg in uniform motion for 30 minutes without friction?
Uniform motion is what happens in the absence of any net force, so force isn't needed to maintain uniform motion. But in our everyday experience on Earth, we always need to supply force in order to keep something moving, only because there are always forces acting to stop it, and we have to counteract them. In the case of your 1,000-kg car, we'd have to know what forces are working against it ... wind, road friction, air resistance, wheel-bearing friction, etc. ... and then we'll know how much force we have to supply to cancel those out. Whatever the answer is, it'll be a continuous thing. The length of time will be irrelevant.

Why is an unbalanced force needed to create motion?
An unbalanced force can push or pull the object. (or act on it)
What is the frictional force needed to slow an object in motion.?
kinetic frictional
When the net force on an object is zero what will the object in motion do?
The object will remain at rest if it was at rest or will maintain its motion with uniform velocity if it was moving.
