What happens to a moving object with zero nets force acting on it?

Certainly. Say you have an object that has been falling through the air for a long time, say a skydiver. After falling for a long time, the skydiver will fall at a constant velocity. This is called terminal velocity, and this is when the air resistance pushing up around the skydiver is equal to the force of gravity pulling the skydiver down. The skydiver is not accelerating. By using F= ma, with zero acceleration, there is zero net force. The skydiver is moving as if there are no forces acting on the skydiver.

What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the opposite direction to the movement?
Since the opposite force is the strongest the object will tend to change direction of the object.Thats one of the effects of force.
Why there must be an unbalanced force acting if an object is moving in a circle at constant speed?
If an unbalanced force was not acting upon it, it wouldn't be moving in a circle.An object with no unbalanced force will either not be moving, or be moving in a straight line due to Isaac Newtons 1st law of motion.
What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?
If you doubled the force on a moving object you would double its acceleration.
What is the result of a force acting on a moving object over a period of time?
The object will experience acceleration in the direction of the force.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object Amust not be moving Bmust be miving with constant velocity Cmust not be accelerating Dnone of these?
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
What happens to a moving object when there are unbalanced forces acting on it and the bigger force is in the same direction as the movement?
The object will move faster
What happens to the motion of an object if the net force acting on it is 0 n?
Nothing happens to its motion, and it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.

What is the result of a force acting on a moving object over a period of time?
The object will experience acceleration in the direction of the force.
What happens if the sum of all the forces acting on a moving object is zero?
Then the object will not accelerate (if it is stationary, then it will remain stationary, if it is already moving it will continue to move at the same velocity until a force begins to act on it).
An object moving with a constant speed of 2 net force?
Because F=ma, If an object is moving at a constant velocity(speed), then there can be no net force acting on the object. This means that there is a dispersive force i.e Drag or friction acting on the object equal to 2 but in the opposite direction to motion.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object Amust not be moving Bmust be miving with constant velocity Cmust not be accelerating Dnone of these?
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
What happens to a moving object when force is applied?
The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.
How can consider that an object is moving in free fall?
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
What happens when the longer a force acts on moving object?
If a force is being applied to a moving object, it will change its velocity (it will accelerate) appropriately.
