Is it true that an object moving at a constant speed in a straight path will continue to do so until a net force acts upon it?

Yes, that's true. That's known as "inertia", or "Newton's First Law".

What happens to an object when the forces are balenced and it's moving?
Then the result will be the same as if NO forces act on the object (since the sum of the forces is zero). The object will continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.
The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?
acceleration
Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?
unbalanced
Why most of the object move in a straight line?
By Newton's Second Law, an object with no force on it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity.
What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?
If there is no net force, the object will stay at rest if it was at rest, or continue moving - at constant velocity - if it was already moving.
What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?
It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.

Then the result will be the same as if NO forces act on the object (since the sum of the forces is zero). The object will continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.
Is it possible for an object to be in motion and have a zero net force?
Yes. The object will simply continue moving at a constant velocity, i.e. at a constant speed in a straight line. This is Newton's First Law.

acceleration
Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
An object moving at a constant velocity will?
... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.
What is the tendency called of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place?
Inertia
Do balanced or unbalanced forces cause a moving object to continue moving at a constant speed?
unbalanced
How is am object moving at a constant speed and in a straight line like an object at rest?
An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.
