Yes, but an object with net force of zero may still be moving. The net force is zero if the object is not accelerating.
If the object is static (and remains static), or if it moves at a constant velocity, that means that the net force on the object is zero.
either not moving or moving with a constant velocity
Of course. It can't change the speed or direction of its motion,
but it doesn't need any force on it in order to move.
That is correct.
true
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
A net force is a measure of the force being exerted on an object; zero net force means an object is at rest or moving at a constant speed.Definition of net force:The net force on an object is the vector sum of all individual forces acting on it.
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
Absolutely. The key is to realize that a net force of zero on an object means only that it is not accelerating. This means that an object feeling zero net force can either be stationary or moving at constant speed in a straight line.
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).

Yes.
It is in equilibrium.
It will keep moving with a constant velocity since zero net force means no acceleration. If the object is at rest, it will just stay at rest.
You can't. The net force simply means that the acceleration is zero. It could be at rest, or the object could be moving at a constant velocity.
If the object is moving in a straight line, then the net force on it is zero. If the object is not moving in a straight path, then there is some non-zero net force acting on it even if its speed is constant. We don't have enough information to describe the magnitude or direction of the force.
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.

You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.

-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
