The object is in free fall, meaning it is only affected by gravity without any other forces influencing its motion. Its acceleration is due solely to gravity, leading to a constant increase in velocity as it falls.
Balanced forces acting on an object do not change the object's position.
When an object changes direction, the forces acting on the object are typically unbalanced. This change in direction indicates that there is a net force acting on the object, causing it to accelerate or decelerate in the new direction. Balanced forces would result in a constant velocity without any change in direction.
Yes, it is possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it. This situation could occur if the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in a state of equilibrium where there is no net force causing motion.
False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.
The net force that is acting on an object that is not changing speed is centripetal force that is pulling the object into a circular path. However, just to be clear on this point, while the object's "speed" is not changing, it's "velocity" certainly is, because velocity, unlike speed, has a directional component to it.

because it is in equilibrium

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.

If there are two or more unequal forces acting on an object then the object will be acting on the forces. ^_^

An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
