Static friction is the force that must be overcome in order to start something moving?
that is true
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.

The force you have to overcome to start an object moving?
Inertia
What does a unmoving object have to have to start moving?
a force and inertia
Why do objects start or stop moving?
Objects move if they have momentum. Momentum is gained via an applied force. Therefore objects start or stop moving when a net force is working on them.
How do objects start moving?
Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.
How creates friction?
A force is needed to start something moving and to stop it once it is moving. A force can make something speed up or slow down. Friction is a force generated when surfaces move across each other.

What force can cause an object to start moving also stop moving?
Gravity
The force you have to overcome to start an object moving?
Inertia
What does a unmoving object have to have to start moving?
a force and inertia
What is the force you have to overcom to start an object moving?
Inertia
What best represents the first law of motion?
"The velocity of a body stays constant unless acted upon by an external force." Basically, it takes outside force to speed something up, slow it down, start it moving, and stop it moving.
Can cause an object to start moving stop moving or change directions?
A force or acceleration
Why do objects start or stop moving?
Objects move if they have momentum. Momentum is gained via an applied force. Therefore objects start or stop moving when a net force is working on them.
What force do you have to overcome to start an object moving?
Sticky friction.
