That's the bit that's giving me the most trouble, relating the kinematics equations in all of this mess. I know that since the atom started out at the origin and without any initial velocity in the z-direction that I can find the position of the particle as it is leaving the gradient (let's call...

Homework Statement Determine the field gradient of a 50-cm-long Stern-Gerlach magnet (d1) that would produce a 1-mm separation at the detector between spin-up and spin-down silver atoms that are emitted from an oven at T=1500. Assume the detector is located 50 cm from the magnet (d2). Note...
