The forces are balanced because they are falling at a constant speed. According to Newtons first law of motion an object will keep moving unless an unbalanced or net force acts upon it.
If we may step in here for the novel purpose of answering the question . . .
The balanced forces on an object that is falling with constant speed are typically
the force of gravity (the object's 'weight') and the equal and opposite force of
air resistance.
are constant
Then the effect is as if there are no forces on it at all, and it moves in a straight line with constant speed.
Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is also called the law of inertia. So, the forces acting on an object are balanced when the object is not accelerating. This happens when the object is at rest, or when the object is moving at constant velocity. ===================== The forces on an object are balanced when their vector sum is zero.
When the entire group of forces acting on an object is balanced, the object's motion is 'uniform' ... its speed is constant and it moves in a straight line. If its speed is changing or its path is not straight, that's called "acceleration", and it means that the group of forces acting on the object is not balanced.
If no unbalanced force operates on an object its motion will be constant.

are constant
When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
* Balanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is zero. The object does not accelerate.* Unbalanced: The vector sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, the object DOES accelerate.
Balanced forces do not bring about any change in motion. If forces are balanced, an object is either at rest, or moving in a straight line at constant velocity.

If forces are balanced, the acceleration of the object will be zero and the velocity will be constant. Maybe zero maybe not.
A balanced group of forces acting on the object has no effect on its motion. The object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Assuming this is a physics question, when all the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is in equilibrium. For example, when a car is at a constant velocity, with no acceleration, all the forces are equal.
