Question

The earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, which are charged particles from outer space. Find the force on one such cosmic ray? a proton that is instantaneously moving vertically downward at 3.28 107 m/s at a point outside the atmosphere over New York, where the magnetic field dips 74.0? below the horizontal and has a horizontal component of 1.70 10-5 T (see figure above).

Find magnitude.

Find magnitude.

Explanation / Answer

Magnitude = 1.6*(10^-19)*3.28*(10^7)1.70*(10^-5) = 5.74*10^-17 N
