A proton (with charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 C and mass of 1.7*10^-27 kg) traveling at a speed of 53,045,750 m/s in the + x-direction enters a region of space where there is a magnetic field of strength 0.6 T in the - z-direction. What would be the radius of the circular motion that the proton would go into if it is "trapped" in this magnetic field region?
