Answer:
The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the proton, u = 6.5 m/s
magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T
The force of the proton is given by;
F = ma = qvB(sin90°)
ma = qvB
where;
m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
The acceleration of the proton is given by;
[tex]a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²
