2. Consider an alpha particle with a charge of +2e. It travels in the -âdirection, with a currently unknown ŷ component. It moves with aspeed of |ū| = 8.7 × 10® m/s. It is travelling in a uniform magnetic field ofmagnitude |B| = 2.2 T pointing in the +ŷ direction. Due to the magneticfield, the alpha particle feels a force with magnitude |F| = 3.7 × 10-12 N.Take -ê to be into the page.(a) Using the right hand rule, in what direction is the force pointing?(b) Were the particle an electron, in which direction would the forcepoint?(c) Calculate the velocity component perpendicular to the magneticfield. (Note: Which way is the force pointing? Does this affect thesign of the force?)(d) Find the parallel component of the velocity (Hint: Think trigonom-etry... )(e) You learn that the alpha particle in fact has a velocity componentin the negative ŷ direction. Find the direction, in degrees, that theparticle is travelling in.
