Answer:
A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field.
Explanation:
For the first hour, the slope is zero.
After that, the slope is -2 miles per hour.
1. 0.16 N
The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the asteroid
m = 100 kg is the mass of the man
r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid
Substituting, we find

2. 1.7 m/s
In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

Ideally the resistance should be ZERO
