At a certain location, the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is 3.3 10-5 T, due north. A proton moves eastward with just the right speed, so the magnetic force on it balances its weight.

Explanation / Answer

1)

The magnetic force on the proton is:
Fm = qv x B = q v x^ x By^ = (qvB) x^ x y^ = (qvB) z^

q = elementary unit of charge = 1.6e-19 (C)
B = 3.3 e-5 (T)

The gravitational force on the proton is:
Fg = -mg z^

m = proton mass = 1.67e-27 (kg)
g = local acceleration of gravity = 9.8 (m/s^2)

Therefore, if the forces balance:
qvB z^ = Fm = - Fg = mg z^
or
qvB = mg
or
v = mg/(qB) = (1.67e-27)(9.8)/((1.6e-19)(3.3e-5))
= ( (1.67 * 9.8)/(1.6*3.3) )e-3 = 3.1e-3 (m/s)

So v = 3.1*10^(-3) (m/s)
