An alpha particle (consisting of two protons and two neutrons), traveling at a speed of v = 1.4 x 105 m/s, enters a region of constant magnetic field of strength B = 1.8 T as shown in the figure. The direction of B is out of the image. The alpha follows a path that is a circular arc of radius r. Part (b) In units of elementary charge e, what is the electric charge q of an alpha particle? Part (c) In meters, what is the radius of curvature r of the path taken by the alpha particle?

A particle has γ=18,399. a) Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,739 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV. Thank you so much!!
