Nothing will happen to the object's motion, it will continue along its path.
For objects moving in circular motion, the forces acting on them are centripetal force, which is directed towards the center of the circle, and inertia or centrifugal force, which acts outward from the center. These forces are responsible for maintaining the object's circular trajectory and preventing it from moving in a straight line.
I wasn't there, so I have no knowledge of how things were set up in that particular experiment. The only force I'm sure of is the force of gravity, and your use of the term "dropped" seems to confirm that assumption.
The force of gravity. All those objects have a force acting between them and the Sun. For the less massive objects the force is less, but mass and force are proportional so the force produces an acceleration that depends only on the object's distance from the Sun. All the objects in orbit would travel in a straight line without a force acting on them, but the pull of the Sun causes them to accelerate or curve continuously towards the Sun. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and the laws of motion, discovered in the late 1600s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes both speed and direction.
Yes, an object at rest can have forces acting on it. The vertical forces acting on an object at rest would include gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from a surface pushing it upward to balance the force of gravity.
This means that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. The larger the net force, the greater the acceleration of the object.
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.
That's just a special case of inertia. In general, objects have the tendency to move in a straight line, and at a constant speed, when no force is acting on them.
Newton's First Law - objects stay at rest or move in a straight line at constant velocity if not forces are acting on it. (Paraphrased).

The motion of objects is influenced by factors such as forces acting upon them, their mass, and the surface friction or resistance that they encounter. These factors can determine whether objects move in a straight line, change direction, speed up, slow down, or come to a stop.
No, all objects do not necessarily have two forces acting on them at all times. Objects can have multiple forces acting on them simultaneously, or just one force, depending on the situation.
All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.
Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.
Objects in real life do not always travel in straight lines at constant speeds because they are subject to various forces like gravity, friction, and air resistance. These forces can cause the object's motion to change, leading to curved paths or changes in velocity. Additionally, external influences such as collisions or interactions with other objects can also affect the object's trajectory.
To find the net force of two objects acting in the same direction, simply add the individual forces together. The net force will be the sum of the individual forces acting on the objects.
Personification
Since the passenger is also traveling in a straight line at constant speed the net force on him is zero.
