The term that best describes the forces acting on an object with a net force of zero is equilibrium.

Here's why:

* Equilibrium means a state of balance. When the net force on an object is zero, the forces acting on it are perfectly balanced.

* This means the object is either at rest (static equilibrium) or moving at a constant velocity (dynamic equilibrium).

Let me know if you'd like more explanation about static or dynamic equilibrium!
