Question

Two forces are acting on a wheelbarrow.One force is pushing to the right and an equal force is pushing to the left.What can you say about the wheelbarrows movement?

A.it is slowing down
B.it is not accelerating
C.it is moving faster and faster
D.its speed is changing at a constant rate

Answer 1

B. It is not accelerating since equal and opposite forces cancel each other. Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation: We are given that two forces are acting on wheelbarrow. One of which is acting on right and the equal amount of force is acting on the left direction. This meas that the two forces are balanced forces.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object and are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. These forces cancel each other and not allow the object to move.

Hence, the object will not accelerate. So, the correct option is B.
