At what speed would a proton need to circle the Earth at a height of 1 000 km above the equator if the Earth's magnetic field is horizontal and directed north-south, with an intensity of 4.00  10-8 T? (The radius of the Earth is 6 400 km and the charge and mass of the proton are q = 1.60  10-19 C and mp = 1.67  10-27 kg. Ignore relativistic corrections.)

Question 2

A magnetic field of 2.00 T is applied to a bubble chamber to make the tracks of protons and other charged particles identifiable by the radius of the circles they move in. If a high-energy proton moves along an arc of a 3.30-m circle, what is the momentum of the proton? q = 1.60  10-19 C, m = 1.67  10-27 kg
