Dear student

If it is moving with uniform speed / velocity there is no net force

Otherwise there is a net force in north direction ie multiple or single forces might act on the object but effective direction of resultant is in north

Dear student 
An object moves with a uniform velocity when the forces (pushing force and frictional force) acting on the object are balanced and there is no net external force on it. If an unbalanced force is applied on the object, there will be a change either in its speed or in the direction of its motion.
Good Luck
