A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66 x 10-26 kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 4.40 x 10° m/s in a 1.50 T magnetic field. What is the separation (in m) between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?

A particle with a charge of -8.0x10-18 C moves to the left at a speed of 4x103 m/s. It enters a region with a uniform E- and B-field. The E-field has a magnitude of 0.5 N/C and points vertically downward. As the particle enters the region of the E- and B-field, it continues moving to the left at a constant speed. No deflection is observed. Neglect the effects of the Earth's gravitational and magnetic field on the particle. Determine the magnitude and direction of the B-field. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought process behind why you did that.
