Best Answer

An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).

To get a stationary object moving, you need to apply a force greater than the static friction acting on the object. Once this force overcomes the static friction, the object will start moving due to the force of kinetic friction acting against it.

Does it take more force to accelerate a moving object?

No, it takes the same force to accelerate a moving object as it does to accelerate a stationary object, according to Newton's first law of motion. The force required depends on the mass of the object and the desired acceleration.
