Not necessarily. An object doesn't need a force to move, only to CHANGE its velocity. In empty space, an object can continue moving indefinitely without any force.

Is it possible for an object to move if no net force is acting on it?
no
Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have a force acting on it?
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
Which is not a big deal involving force and motion?
a force acting on an object at rest causese it to move
What are the between balanced force and unbalanced force?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
A small force acting on a human sized object causes?
The object will move if the net force amounts to a greater momentum than the force that is keeping that object at rest.
Why does a skate board stay still?
If an object with wheels (or a round object) is on a level grade, and there is no force acting on it, it will not move.
What are unbalance forces?
When there is more force acting on one side of an object than the other side. Therefore the object will move to the side with less force.
How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of an object motion?
The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.
What is the result of a force causing an object to move?
When one or more forces act on an object, the object may or may not move. For an object to accelerate, an unbalanced force must be acting (ie the forces must not cancel out). When this is the case, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the force acting divided by the mass of the object. (Newton's Second Law says that "F = m * a").If no force is acting on an object, it will remain at rest or at a constant speed moving in a straight line (according to Newton's First Law). It is not until an unbalance force exists that the object can change its velocity.When the object does move, the work done (energy used) is equal to the force moving it multiplied by the distance it has moved in the direction of the force ("W = F * s").
What happens when an unbalanced force is applied to an object at rest?
It moves the object in the direction of the force. If a force is balanced, it means that a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction is acting upon the same object. If there isn't an equal and opposite force acting on an object, it moves it.
What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the same direction as the movement?
The object will move faster
Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
