Why would an asteroid have a difficult time of holding a probe or person?

The asteroid's mass is so small that it has a much smaller acceleration
due to gravity than Earth has. That means that things weigh very very little
on the surface of an asteroid. It also means that the "escape velocity" from
an asteroid is very low, and orbital velocities are very low at any distance off
of its surface.

As an extreme example: You know how when you walk, you naturally rise up
on the toes of one foot while you reach out with the other one to take a step ?
All of those motions are what you learn in Earth's gravity. On an asteroid, that
natural action of rising up on your toes might launch you into a long, high arc,
like a golf ball. Or it might even exceed escape velocity and you'd sail up off
of the asteroid and never come back down to it.

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L $\frac{dI}{dt}$ ...................1

so E = - L $\frac{I2 - I1}{dt}$

put here value we get

E = - 8 × $10^{-3}$ $\frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}$

E = -40 × 6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

A V = 108-V source is connected in series with an R = 1.1-kΩ resistor and an L = 34-H inductor and the current is allowed to rea

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given an RL circuit

A voltage source of.

V = 108V

A resistor of resistance

R = 1.1-kΩ = 1100 Ω

And inductor of inductance

L = 34 H

After he inductance has been fully charged, the switch is open and it connected to the resistor in their own circuit, so as to discharge the inductor

A. Time the inductor current will reduce to 12% of it's initial current

Let the initial charge current be Io

Then, final current is

I = 12% of Io

I = 0.12Io

I / Io = 0.12

The current in an inductor RL circuit is given as

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ)

Where τ is time constant and it is given as

τ = L/R = 34/1100 = 0.03091A

So,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I / Io = ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where I/Io = 0.12

0.12 = 1—exp(-t/τ)

0.12 — 1 = —exp(-t/τ)

-0.88 = -exp(-t/0.03091)

0.88 = exp(-t/0.03091)

Take In of both sides

In(0.88) = In(exp(-t/0.03091)

-0.12783 = -t/0.030901

t = -0.12783 × 0.030901

t = 3.95 × 10^-3 seconds

t = 3.95 ms

B. Energy stored in inductor is given as

U = ½Li²

So, the current at this time t = 3.95ms

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

Where Io = V/R

Io = 108/1100 = 0.0982 A

Now,

I = Io ( 1—exp(-t/τ))

I = 0.0982(1 — exp(-3.95 × 10^-3 / 0.030901))

I = 0.0982(1—exp(-0.12783)

I = 0.0982 × 0.12

I = 0.01178

I = 11.78mA

Therefore,

U = ½Li²

U = ½ × 34 × 0.01178²

U = 2.36 × 10^-3 J

U = 2.36 mJ
