Things would were it not for opposing forces such as friction.

When forces are not balanced an object may keep object moving forever true or false?

That's true. Plus ... even if the forces on an object are BALANCED, it can keep moving forever.

When forces are not balanced an object keep moving forever?

As long as the forces remain the same or do not change direction


Why does a bicycle keep on running even after stop pedalling?

Because of something called inertia. Things that are moving likes to keep moving, and things that aren't moving likes to stay put. For anything to change from moving to stationary, or stationary to moving, there has to be an outside force acting on them.


Does it take the same amount of force to start something as it does to keep it moving?

No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it. To keep it moving requires zero force. If there is no opposing friction force, it will continue moving forever. If you can significantly reduce the friction, a small force can keep an object moving - just enough to counteract the force of friction.No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it.

If there is nothing to stop it, such as another force or obstruction, yes.

Is it true that a force is required to keep an object moving in a given direction?

Yes! remember Newton law of movement? An object will keep on moving forever, as long as another force or object leaves it alone. Wonderful! Your second sentence is correct, and totally contradicts your first one. The answer is: No. It is false. No force is required to keep an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line.


What would happen to projectile without gravity?

It would keep moving at a constant speed in the same direction forever, or until it hits another object.


What is perpetual motion?

A perpetual motion machine is something that will keep spinning or moving (typically involves rotation, but not always) forever without the need to keep adding energy. These are typically viewed as something that will move forever that we can connect a generator to in order to obtain free infinate energy.
