Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that the emf is given as the product of the length of the wire, speed of the shuttle and the perpendicular component of the magnetic field. The long conducting wire connected to the shuttle moves through a field and can generate an induced emf. Thus, with large values of speed and length, the induced emf is great enough to provide electrical power.
