Yes, there is no NET FORCE on the object.
Explanation:
However, there are forces acting on the object.
There is
friction
opposing the motion of the object, but it is exactly balanced out by a constant force in the opposite direction. Since both forces are balanced, you don't see any slowing down or speeding up as a result and the net force results to be zero - speed is constant.
Since the question doesn't state to ignore friction, friction is assumed to be at play here.
There are also forces acting on the object in the y direction, but those also balance out, and hence, you don't see the object flying off the ground.
