Answer:

Because of frictional force acting in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The force of push on the body of Joel is 60 N. The body doesn't move. This clearly means that there must be a force acting in the opposite direction that has a magnitude equal to 60 N so that the net force acting on the body of Joel is 0 and hence the body doesn't move forward.

This opposite force is the frictional force which acts between the surface of snow and Joel. The frictional force always opposes relative motion.

So, when Joel's friend pushes him, he tends move him forward. Therefore, frictional force acts in the opposite direction to oppose the motion. If the frictional force is strong enough to stop the force of push, the body won't move.

This frictional force acting on a stationary body is a variable force and has a maximum value known as limiting friction. When the force of push exceeds the limiting friction, the body just starts to move. The body won't move till the force pf push is less than or equal to limiting friction.

Thus, Joel' friend push is less than or equal to the limiting friction and therefore, Joel is not moving.

Explain in detail what specific factors affect the momentum of a bicycle going down hill.
Crazy boy [7]

Mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum of a bicycle going hill down.

Explanation:

As we know that Momentum describes the motion of an object. It is the combination of the objects mass and velocity.

So, obviously with no doubt mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum.

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

The momentum also depends upon the mass and speed of the object.

More the mass of the object more is the momentum.

Depending upon the gravity and bicycle's motion speed momentum varies.

Bicycle moves faster the down hill if it moves with some speed as it has lesser mass the momentum also will be less.

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

  • 5.5 N

Explanation:

mass of balloon (m) = 12.5 g = 0.0125 kg

density of helium = 0.181 kg/m^{3}

radius of the baloon (r) = 0.498 m

density of air = 1.29 kg/m^{3}

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 1.29 m/s^{2}

find the tension in the line

the tension in the line is the sum of all forces acting on the line

Tension =buoyant force  + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

force = mass x acceleration

from density = \frac{mass}{volume} ,  mass = density x volume

  • buoyant force =  density x volume x acceleration

        where density is the density of air for the buoyant force

        buoyant force = 1.29 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 6.54 N

  • force by helium =  density x volume x acceleration

        force by helium =  0.181 x (\frac{4]{3} x π x 0.498^{3}) x 9.8 = 0.917 N

  • force of its weight = mass of rubber x acceleration

        force of its weight = 0.0125 x 9.8 = 0.1225 N

  • Tension = buoyant force  + force by helium + force of weight of rubber

         the force  of weight of rubber and of helium act downwards, so they      

          carry a negative sign.

  • Tension = 6.54 - 0.917 - 0.1225 = 5.5 N
