AI Thread Summary
A particle with a charge of 5.40 nC is moving in a magnetic field of B = -(1.20) T z^. The magnetic force acting on the particle is F = 3.50×10−7 N x^ + 7.60×10−7 N y^. The discussion focuses on calculating the y component of the particle's velocity using the equation F = qv x B. Participants share attempts and hints, emphasizing the need to separate components of the force and velocity. The conversation highlights the collaborative effort to solve the problem while acknowledging the challenges faced.

Homework Statement


A particle with a charge of 5.40nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field of B= -(1.20 )Tz^. The magnetic force on the particle is measured to be F=3.50×10−7N X^ + 7.60×10−7N Y^ .

Calculate the y component of the velocity of the particle.

Homework Equations


F= qv x B
F = qvBSin(theta)


The Attempt at a Solution


lost trying to use the magnitude to find also
i tried
F/qb=Vsin(theta) doesn't seem to yield results yet :/

Calculate the y component of the velocity of the particle.

Hint: call the velocity (Vx,Vy,Vz) …

then what is the x-component of the force? :wink:

so would it be possible for me to say v = Vx + Vy + Vz
...
Fy=qVyBsin(thetha)?

erm :redface:

right idea :smile:, wrong result :cry:

hahaha felt that was wrong hmm let me try again i guess ><"

F=x^(5.4Vy*1.2Z^T)-Y^(5.4Vx*1.2TZ^)
then place value for F as 3.50x10^-7 etc and equal x to x and y to y??
