Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It will maintain its current state of motion. According to the Newtons first law, the object stays at rest and an object remains in motion with constant velocity unless acted upon with an unbalanced force.

Net Force = mass * acceleration

If the net force is 0 (equilibrium) the acceleration is also 0, this means that either the body is at rest or moving at constant speed, either way it maintains the current state of motion
