There is no such thing as an amount of force needed to move a certain distance.

Asteroids, comets, moons, and planets have been moving trillions of miles through

space for billions of years with either no force on them at all, or no force in the

direction they're moving.

You may have heard of Newton's First Law. It says that an object with no forces

acting on it keeps moving in a straight line at a constant speed, which is kind of

another good way of saying that it can move as far as you want it to with no force

on it.

Work is the force used to move an object a distance. It is calculated as force multiplied by distance, or mathematically, work = force x distance. Work is measured in joules.
