An object is moving north at a constant speed. A force of 5 N begins to push the object east at the same moment that a force of 5 N begins to push it west. What will happen to the object?

The 5 N force east and the 5 N force west are equal and opposite, so they cancel and produce no net force in the east-west direction. With no net force changing its motion, the object keeps moving north at its original constant speed. Thus, it will continue moving north.
