because of the inertia of the object as stated by Newton's first law of motion.
The force that always acts to oppose motion is called friction. Friction occurs between two surfaces in contact and creates resistance to the motion of one surface over the other.

A force that tends to oppose motion
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
oppose the motion of an object in contact with a surface. It is dependent on the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force pressing them together.
The two forces that oppose motion are friction and air resistance. Friction is the force that acts opposite to the direction of motion when two surfaces are in contact, while air resistance is the force that opposes an object's motion through the air.

Oppose & Prevent
Inertia is a property of matter that makes it harder to move, so that is probably what you are thinking of, but technically, forces do not oppose motion. Depending upon the direction in which a force is applied, one force can oppose another force that is acting in an opposite direction, but forces are not opposed to motion as such.
The force that acts to oppose motion is called friction. Friction occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, creating resistance that makes it harder for objects to move.
