In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
It is in Equilibrium and there are no forces acting on it.
That's exactly what we must conclude. If the forces on the car were not balanced, then its velocity would have to 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.
No,because if the car is moving at a constant velocity that means the acceleration is zero. So the net force is zero and there may be some forces acting on it. Only gravity, downward.
zero
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity
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.

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.

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.
Balanced forces means that the sum of the forces acting on a body is zero, and the body will have constant velocity, either at rest, or moving in a particular direction.
"Constant velocity" means neither the speed nor the direction of the object's motion is changing. "Rest" is just one kind of constant velocity ... the kind with zero speed. The condition for an object's velocity to remain constant is: Either there are no forces acting on the object, or else all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. If there is any NET force acting on the object, then its velocity will change ... it will either speed up, slow down, or curve in a new direction.
