- 3. DETAILS MY NOTES You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.700 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 15.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude 8 = 1.90 T. The electromagnetic force on the rod is parallel to the rails, causing the rod to roll to the right in the figure. When a full-scale device is produced, this rod will represent the axle of wheels on which the car and i on the grounds of the company. By projecting the rod from the rails in a horizontal direction from a height h = 1.80 m, the projection speed can be determined from how far from the ends of the rails the rod hits the ground.
