Question

A particle with mass 1.45×103 kg and charge of +1.37×108 C has, at a given instant, a velocity of 3.10×104 m/s along the +y-axis, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1)

Part A

What is the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration produced by a magnetic field of magnitude 1.13 T in the xy plane, directed at an angle of 45.0 counterclockwise from the +x-axis?

Express your answer with the appropriate units to three significant figures.

Part B:

What is the direction of the particle’s acceleration?

45.00 C

Explanation / Answer


magnetic force F = q*( v x B )

v = 3.2*10^4 j


B = 1.13*cos45i + 1.13*sin45 j

B = 0.799 i + 0.799 j


F = 1.37*10^-8*( 3.2*10^4 j x (0.799 i + 0.799 j) )

F = 1.37*10^-8*3.2*10^4*0.799 -k N

F = -0.0003503 k N

acceleration a = F/m


a = 0.0003503/(1.45*10^-3)

a = 0.242 m/s^2 <<<<<<-------answer

part B

direction = -z axis <<<<<<------answer
