I think its A , it makes the most sense
Answer:
a) 0.09N b) positive x direction
Explanation:
Force on a conductor carrying current in a magnetic field can be expressed as;
F = BILsin(theta) where
F is the force on the conductor (wire)
B is the uniform magnetic field I'm Tesla = 1.8Tesla
I is the current in the wire = 5×10^-2A
L is the length of the wire = 1m
theta is the angle that the conductor make with the magnetic field = 90° (since the wire in the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the field acting upwards)
Substituting this value in the formula to get F we have;
F = 1.8×5×10^-2×1 × sin90°
F = 0.09N
The force on the wire is 0.09N
b) The direction of the force is in the positive x direction since the wire acts horizontally to the magnetic field.
Answer:
kinetic energy of glider = -0.376 j
Explanation:
Original distance by which the spring is compressed can be determine by using law of conservation of energy (As spring slide from glider, it gain some potential energy. On the top of track there is glider’s potential
energy exist)

where x is compressed distance by spring
height of track is calculated as


where l is distance covered by glider, theta angle is the angle of inclination of track
therefore, we have formula for x as


x = 0.039 m
kinetic energy of glider = potential energy by spring - potential energy at 1.50 distance

kinetic energy of glider = -0.376 j
