A Geophysicist Measures the Magnetic Force on a Proton That $1.996 \mathrm {~km} / \mathrm { s }$

question 150

Short Answer

A geophysicist measures the magnetic force on a proton that is moving vertically downward at a point $1.996 \mathrm {~km} / \mathrm { s }$ at the earth's equator. At that Iocation, the earth's magnetic magnetic field is horizontal and has a strength of $0.40 \times 10 ^ { - 4 } \mathrm {~T}$ . What are the magnitude and direction of the force she will measure? $\left( e = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm { C } \right)$

Definitions:

Acid Chloride

Organic compounds derived from carboxylic acids by replacing the hydroxyl group with a chlorine atom, making them highly reactive acylating agents.

Anhydride

A compound formed from another compound by the removal of a molecule of water; commonly associated with carboxylic acid anhydrides in organic chemistry.

Nitrile

Organic compounds that contain a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to an alkyl group, used in the manufacture of rubbers, resins, and pharmaceuticals.

Amide

Organic compounds characterized by a carbonyl group attached to a nitrogen atom, often found in proteins and other important biological molecules.
