Its speed of motion, or its direction of motion, or both, would change.
In general, the change would be described as 'acceleration'.

All friction affects a moving object, the source of the friction and the object moving is irrelevant. Water on a soccer ball would effect the performance of the ball.
The object would be moving.
If there is no friction, a moving object would continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Without friction to oppose its motion, the object would not come to a stop on its own.
An object in equilibrium is not moving, as all the forces acting on the object are balanced. If the object were to be in motion, it would no longer be in equilibrium as there would be an unbalanced force acting on it.
Two observers could measure a different speed for the same moving object if they are moving at different velocities relative to the object. This is because the speed of an object would appear different depending on the speed and direction of the observer. This effect is known as relative motion.
When the forces on an object are balanced, then they have the same effect on itas NO FORCE at all would have. That means that the object does not accelerate,and THAT means that it continues moving in a straight line, at a constant speed.If that didn't blow your mind, then please read it again. One of the things it tells usis that it doesn't take ANY FORCE to keep an object moving.
Collided Into would be with a stationary object while "with" would be with another moving object.

To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.
If there was no friction acting on a moving object, the object would continue moving indefinitely without slowing down or stopping. It would move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
