I've been thinking about this since noon it's currently 9 PM. I think I got it now. Constant velocity/acceleration just means I'm putting the same amount of force to move the object to exactly cancel out friction while still moving it forward. At rest just means no force going against friction...

yes

In my mind, the reason the FBD of acceleration/velocity looks the same is because if I'm changing position at a constant rate and the change in velocity is constant, there should be a greater applied force than the force of friction.

net force?

it's high school physics I'm just typing out what my teacher asked me to do. The diagrams are supposed to be the general FBD on 3 different objects if they were at rest, constant acceleration, and constant velocity. It wasn't specified if the object was on an incline in the question. What I have...

First law, objects at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on it accelerating is easier on flat because there's less friction between your feet and the ground compared to up a hill

I just attached my version of the diagrams

For reference I'm a high school senior in physics. My thought process: 1) If the force of friction and applied force are equal the object "should" be at rest because the forces are equal (obviously this isn't correct because my professor tried explaining it and I'm not understanding the...
