Can there be forces that act on a car moving in a straight line with constant speed?
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
What is the motion of an object when the forces on an objects are balanced?
Then the effect is as if there are no forces on it at all, and it moves in a straight line with constant speed.

Do balanced forces cause motion?
No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.
You are sitting in a car driving at a constant speed on a flat road What are all of the forces acting on you not the forces acting on the car?
Moving at a constant speed if your in the car then there are no forces acting on you from the car. If the car accelerates then the car will push you forward and you will feel the Force of the seat pushing you. The only other force on you in a car is gravity witch always pulls straight down. Gravity is always there whether the car is accelerating or not.
Why do you tend to fall backwards when a plane takes off?
The forward momentum forces you back.

What are the 4 forces for air and flight?
Thrust (forward) Drag (backwards)Lift (up) Weight (down)
Does an object moving in a constant speed in a straight line have any forces acting on it?
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity

What kinds of motion required no forces?
"Uniform" motion. That means any constant speed in any straight line or rotation at a constant speed.
What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?
It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
How does the forward force on a car compare with the resistive forces when the car maintains a constant speed?
According to all my science lecturers, both forces are equal to maintain that constant speed. Although i don't believe this makes sense.
