Consider an object placed in space, where there is no gravity. What is the amount of force needed to move the object by one unit length?
How does that relate to the mass of the object and the time spent?

That depends on how much time you want to spend. Space is frictionless, you could move a planet by applying a force of 1 N. It would just take a very long time for the planet to move 1 m in response to that force.
Because space is frictionless, you can use basic physics to calculate the information you need. $F=ma$, and from $a$ you can derive the object's speed and position over time.
