PRACTICE ANOTHER
The figure below shows a proton (mass of 1.6710-27kg), initially at the origin of a coordinate system with an initial velocity vec(v) in the xy-plane. The initial speed is 5.20106ms at an angle of =70.0 with the x-axis. The proton moves in the presence of a uniform magnetic field vec(B) in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 0.158 T and makes a helical path. The pitch p of the helix, shown on the figure, is the distance between successive complete turns of the helix, measured along the helix axis.
(a) What is the pitch p(in m ) of the trajectory as defined in the figure?
What is the angular speed of the circular motion of the particle in the yz plane? How is it related to the period? Does the x-component of the velocity change during the motion? How can you relate it and the period to the pitch? m
(b) What is the radius r(in m ) of the trajectory as defined in the figure?
m
