An upward force acts on a proton as it moves with a speed of 2.0 × 105 meters/second through a magnetic field of 8.5 × 10-2 tesla running from east to west. What is the force and direction of the force on the proton? Select one of the options below as your answer: A. 2.7 × 10-15 N to the north B. 2.7 × 10-15 N to the south C. 1.7 × 10-14 N to the north D. 1.7 × 10-14 N to the south E. 1.7 × 10-14 N downward

its B correct n to south

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F=bqv sin(angle b/w vel vector nd direction of mag field)

can u send it to me plugged in or just some im having trouble with that...:/

OpenStudy (souvik):

\[F=q\vec{v}\times\vec{ B}\] here q=charge v=velocity B=magnetic field

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (souvik):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should I type this in a scientific?

OpenStudy (souvik):

scientific what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

calculator

OpenStudy (souvik):

OpenStudy (souvik):

let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or atleast u can just show me what it looks like plugged in

OpenStudy (souvik):

F=2.7*10^-15.........that is what i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool is it north to south?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a or b
