Question

A ^9 Be nucleus containing four protons and five neutrons has a mass of 1.50 times 10^-26 kg and is traveling vertically upward at 1.45 km/s. If this particle suddenly enters a horizontal magnetic field of 1.50 T pointing from west to east, find the direction of its acceleration vector the instant after it enters the field. If this particle suddenly enters a horizontal magnetic field of 1.50 T pointing from west to east, find the magnitude of its acceleration vector the instant after it enters the field.

Explanation / Answer

GIVEN: m=1.50*10^-26kg,v=1.45km/s=1.45*10^3m/s=1450m/s,B=1.50T

A)The direction is North

B) F = q*v*B so a = q*v*B/m

a= 4*1.60x10^-19*1450*1.50/1.50x10^-26 = 0.93x10^11m/s^2
