If you live in Bozeman, Montana, you will find that the magnetic field has a strength of about 5 x 10-5 T. The vector is directed northward, but it is not parallel to the ground. It actually dips 70° below the horizontal (i.e., it is only 20° away from pointing straight into the ground). In a laboratory in Bozeman, Montana, a proton is moving horizontally, parallel to the floor, and toward magnetic east at a speed of 5 x 106 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the proton? [Hint: Start by drawing a picture.]
