A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.

What is force that maintains motion?

The force that maintains motion is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

First


What is the force that maintain motion?

There is no force that maintains motion by itself. Motion is maintained by Newton's Law, that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Forces can act to stop the motion, such as the force from friction, in which case some other force, such as the force provided by a car's engine, is what keeps the car from slowing down and stopping. But, in the absence of forces acting against motion, such as friction, an object will remain in motion with no forces acting on it.


Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?

Air resistance.


What do you call a force that is the opposite direction of an object's motion?

A force that opposes the motion of an object is called a frictional force. This force acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion, creating resistance and slowing down its movement.
