Rail guns have been suggested for launching projectiles into space without chemical rockets. A tabletop model rail gun (Figure A2.4) consists of two long, parallel, horizontal rails, l= 3.50 cm apart, bridged by a bar of mass m= 3.00 g that is free to slide without friction. The rails and bar have low electric resistance, and the current is limited to a constant I = 24.0 A by a power supply that is far to the left of the figure, so it has no magnetic effect on the bar. Figure A2.4 shows the bar at rest at the midpoint of the rails at the moment the current is established. We wish to find the speed with which the bar leaves the rails after being released from the midpoint of the rails.
