Poorly phrased question as the correct answer is merely "Yes, you can." To answer the question probably intended: "How do you distinguish between one object experiencing zero net force and another experiencing non-zero net force?"
The first object will be at rest or will have a constant velocity (i.e. speed and direction). The second will have a changing velocity (i.e. a changing speed and/or direction of motion) or, in other words, it will be accelerating (or decelerating).

Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?
Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero.

When an object is pulled on a level surface at a constant velocity what force is the pulling force equal to?
If there is no friction or anything that can impede the movement off the object, then the force is zero. If there is friction, then the force is equal to that of the friction.
What condition does an object on which a constant force is applied have a zero acceleration?
An equal and opposite force is also applied to the object, so that the vector sum of all the forces on it is zero.
When the forces on an object produce a net force of zero the forces are?
equal and opposite
Is gravitational force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?
No. Gravitational force is directed DOWNward. The weight of the displaced fluid is another force, directed UPward. If they happen to be equal, then the net force on the object is zero and it floats. But they don't have to be equal.
What is the net force on an object that is acted on by balanced forces?
If all forces acting on the object are balanced (equal), the net force acting on the object is zero.
What is the net force or the resultant force acting on an object in equilibrium?
0. An object in equilibrium has constant velocity, which makes its acceleration 0. Since net force=mass times acceleration, this would make the net force zero. Note that there could be multiple forces acting on the object, but since it is in equilibrium they would have to be equal and opposite in direction, to cancel all of the forces out. This would make the net force zero.
What must the net force equal if all forces acting on the object are balanced?
Zero
What is the expression for equilibrium?
the sum of all forces acting on an object should be equal to zero the sum of all forces acting on an object should be equal to zero
Balancing the forces acting on an object give you the net force?
If the forces acting on an object are perfectly balanced, the resulting net force is equal to zero.
What type of force does an object have if its net force is equal to zero?
If the net force on an object is zero, we can say that the forces are balanced, or that they are in equilibrium(which really means the same thing). There may be forces acting on the object, but there is an equal and opposite force pushing or pulling in the opposite direction, and all the forces balance out. Alternatively, there may be no forces acting on the object at all.
If two forces are equal and opposite than the net force is?
I assume you mean that the forces act on the same object. In that case, the net force is zero.
