A body is in equilibrium under the action of several forces. If a constant force is applied to the body, why can't the body be still or move in a straight line at a constant speed? Can't an object move in a straight line at a constant speed when it is stationary? Or can it move in a straight line at a constant speed when it is stationary?

The original resultant force is 0, plus a constant force, the object will be subject to a constant external force, so do uniform linear motion
