Auniform magnetic field of 0.50 t is directed along the positive x axis. a proton moving with a speed of 60 km s enters this field. the helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm. determine the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Speed of the proton, v = 60 km/s = 60000 m/s

The helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm, p = 0.005 m

We need to find the  angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton. The pitch of the helix is the product of parallel component of velocity and time period. Mathematically, it is given by :

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton is 50.58 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
