You need to look at the net force... which is the resultant of all the forces... if there is a net force then there will be an acceleration and therefore the object will move..
however there can be many forces acting on a single object but as long as those are in equilibrium then the object will not move...
so to answer your question: a force does not always cause things to move...
also.. a thing can be moving without a force... see newtons first law..

Force- A push or pull
Motion- Change in position
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. In general, an unbalanced force will cause an acceleration - a change in velocity. This may include the case of just changing the direction.

Why do you need to use force to move a ball up a ramp when it moves downward by itself?
The force of gravity makes the ball move downward. To move it upward, you need to supply enough force to compensate for this (to stop the downward motion) plus a little extra (to cause the ball to move upward).
What cause an object to move?
Newton said an object at rest will tend to stay at rest until acted upon by an external force. An object is moved when another force is applied to it. Whether it be from change in potential energy or just direct change in momentum, another force is necessary to move an object at rest.
Which of these uses the force of gravity to make it move?
Which of these uses the force of gravity to make it move
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object?
Objects move according to their net force, or the total amount of force acting on them. Balanced forces are just that, balanced. An object with balanced forces will not move because the opposing forces will cancel each other out. However, if there are unbalanced forces, the object will move in accordance with the force that is greater. When moving though, there is always friction. Whether you be underwater, on the ground, or in the air there is always friction on the Earth. (Besides vacuums, of course.) Force is equal to mass x acceleration. With that you can find the forces of the object if you know its mass and acceleration.
Force causing an object to start moving?
what starts to move an object is force because it's pushing on the object and what stop's the obect from moveing is force too because if the force is going the oppisit way its going to stop the object.
What is the force that causes things to move in space?
A force can cause an object to move if the amount of the force in the direction of movement is larger than the Frictional force of the object against the object on which it rests, and can overcome its Inertia.
Does applying a force always cause a change in position?
no... if a force is not great enough to overcome the static friction then the object will not move also if the force is directly perpendicular to the surface, provided its solid, the object is on it wont move
What happens when a force moves?
Force can cause mass to move, it does not move in itself.
A force which makes things move?
Any force will make things move, as long as there is no other force to counter it. (Such a counter-force may be present in the form of friction.)
What force makes it harder to move things?
Friction makes it harder to move things.
What is a force that cause an object move in circle?
A force that could cause a object to move in a circle would be centripetal force. That is a product of mass and centripetal acceleration. It is quite a bit complicated.
What can make things move or change?
Force
Does an uncharged oject always move towards a charged object?
They don't always move, but there's always a force of attraction between them.
What is required for a force to work on an object?
The force must cause the object to move.
How does friction move things?
Friction does not move things. Friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching. Not enough friction allows for things to move, depending on what kind of friction; the less force it has.
What cause the boat to move?
the pressure and force of the water.
What produces the force that cause earthquakes as rocks move and break?
The force that cause Earthquakes as rocks to move and break are called plate tectonics
