In this experiment a 2.10 x 10^4 m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 7.50 x 10^3 m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 4.70 x 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, what would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire?
