Question

A wheelbarrow is experiencing two forces. One is pushing 5 N to the east and the other 5 N in the exact opposite direction. What must be true of the wheelbarrow's motion? A) It is moving. B) It is accelerating. C) It is slowing down. D) It isn't accelerating.

Answer 1

D) It isn't accelerating
This is because if both sides are pushing with the exact same force, than one force is not overpowering the other, therefor the wheelbarrow would not be moving.

Answer 2

It is not moving

Step-by-step explanation:

According to physics laws if the sum of forces on an object is zero then the object will stay in rest and it will not move. Since there are two forces. Both of them are applied on equal magnitude but opposite direction so they will cancel the effect of each other and as a result the wheel will not move.
