If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
An object in free fall is accelerating, so the forces on it must be unbalanced.
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
They must be equal. We know that, because if the vertical forces on the object didn't add up to zero, then it would be accelerating vertically, either up or down.
The speed and the direction.
Friction force
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
In that case, the sum of all forces must be zero.
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.

If an object moved with constant acceleration it's velocity must ?
The weight of a floating object and the buoyant force on it must be equal. If they were not equal, then there would be a net vertical force on the object, and it would be accelerating up or down.
Basically, Newton's Third Law ALWAYS applies.To accelerate an object, you need to apply some force to it. There MUST be a counterforce, from the object back to the object that pulls or pushes it.
They must be equal. We know that, because if the vertical forces on the object didn't add up to zero, then it would be accelerating vertically, either up or down.
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
No
