A bullet of mass 3.4 g moves at a speed of 160 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field with a magnetic field of 5x10-5 T. If there is a net charge of 13.5 nC on the projectile, how many nm will it deviate from the initial direction of motion due to the magnetic field after traveling 1 km? Hint: Assume that the magnetic force is towards the center of the earth throughout the motion. Ignore the gravitational force
