The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant
velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force
acts on the object.
The Condition of Equilibrium, Force equal zero, is the condition of an object at rest or moving at constant velocity. Non-Equilibrium Condition, Force is not zero, is the condition for an object to move with increasing velocity.
The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
An object will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero and there is no external force to change its velocity.
No resultant forces act upon it
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
No, if an object is traveling at a constant velocity, it means that its speed and direction are not changing. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, so an object with constant velocity by definition cannot have acceleration.
If the sum of all forces on an object is zero, then the object remains in constant, uniform motion. 'Constant uniform motion' means motion in a straight line at a constant speed. The physical description of such motion is "constant velocity". "Rest" is just constant velocity with a speed of zero. If the sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, then the object's velocity must change. The change may consist of speeding up, slowing down, or turning in a different direction.

No, an object cannot accelerate if its velocity is constant. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity of an object is constant, its acceleration is zero.
