when the net force of an object is at zero, it is at rest. That means that the forces on it are balanced. when the net force is not zero, the forces are unbalanced.

When the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity. This is because there is no unbalanced force causing the object to accelerate in any direction. This principle is described by Newton's first law of motion.
An object at rest or moving at a constant velocity experiences a net force of zero. This can happen when the forces acting on the object are balanced, such as when the force of gravity is equal to the force pushing up from a surface.
Forces are unbalanced when the net force is not equal to zero. This causes objects to accelerate in the direction of the greater force.
When the net forces on an object are not zero, it will result in the object experiencing acceleration in the direction of the net force. This acceleration will cause a change in the object's velocity. The object will continue to accelerate as long as the net force is not zero.
When an object experiences a zero net force, its motion remains unchanged.
When the net force on an object is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. The acceleration of the object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, as described by Newton's second law (F=ma).
