In that case, the object's velocity won't change.
equilibrium
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
Yes
The forces acting on a stationary object are:PushPullGravity
No acceleration occurs - if stationary, it does not move, if moving, it continues its original velocity (speed *and* direction).
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.

Yes

No. An object that has no net force on it will simply not be accelerating. It can be in motion, but it can not have any change in its velocity.
No acceleration occurs - if stationary, it does not move, if moving, it continues its original velocity (speed *and* direction).
Any object on which an unbalance force is acting will accelerate - i.e., its velocity will change.
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
A force, or several forces that don't add up to zero, acting on the object.
A force, or several forces that don't add up to zero, acting on the object.
An objects acceleration depends on its mass and the force acting on it. Newton's second law, F = ma.
