Is this sentence correct As rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?

No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.


Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?

The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.


Why does the red spot on Jupiter won't stop moving?

Its because of its tropical storms its kind of like a huge whirlpool and wont stop moving its a known fact its because its an anti cyclonic storm


What will happen to the rock cycle if the tectonic plates stop moving?

Let's take this step by step: If the tectonic plates have stopped moving, that essentially means that the convection currents in the mantle which drive continental drift have stopped. If the convection currents have stopped, there must be a reason for the halt; this would most likely be that the heat driving convection has stopped. If there is no heat in the earth, hotspots cannot exist --> volcanoes cannot exist --> no lava --> no igneous rocks. There's one result. Though metamorphic rocks do require pressure AND heat, all of that takes place in the crust (lithosphere) anyway, so they would not be affected. However, there would be less of a chance for those metamorphic rocks to emerge either as lava or through plate collisions, since we're assuming neither could happen (though there's probably a way). So the rock cycle would basically become a rock path, with sedimentary rocks turning into metamorphic rocks. The sedimentary rocks, of course, can break down through weathering and reform through compaction, so you could have a miniature, self-feeding loop going there. But that's about all I've got for you.


What happens if a balanced forces are applies to a moving object?

When balanced forces are applied to a moving object, the object likely slow and eventually stop. How quickly that occurs depends on the amount of force.
