Answer:

its acceleration must be 0.

Explanation:

According the second Newton's law, the net force applied in a object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration:

F_{net} =m.a

In this case, the net force is

F_{net}=5N-5N=0

What makes sense since both forces have the same value and opposite directions.

Since the mass of the object can't be zero, the acceleration is the one that must be 0 in order fulfill the equation of the second newton's law.

Another option is that, since both forces are opposite, the wheelbarrow could be at rest. Though this is correct, this is not always true.

In conclusion, the only  statement that always is true about the wheelbarrow's motion is that its acceleration must be 0.

Assuming no other forces are acting on the wheelbarrow, it must be stationary.

What two bodily functions are increased by a warm up
drek231 [11]

1) Blood flow: increases during warming improving muscle and joint elasticity. This decreases the possibility of having an injury.


2) Body temperature: This causes the cellular metabolism to increase. It also causes vasodilatation that allows a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients.
