A proton is accelerated in a particle accelerator from rest through a potential difference of 0.130 kV. If the proton then passes through a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.120 T that is perpendicular to the proton's path, what is the radius of the path that the proton will take through the magnetic field? Give your answer in cm. (The mass of a proton is 1.672*10^-27 kg.)
