A proton is moving with velocity  = (vx  + vz ) m/s, where vx = 7.50  105 and vz = 5.70  105. The instant it enters a uniform magnetic field it experiences a magnetic force in the positive y-direction of 2.80 * 10-5 N. [Charge of proton q = 1.602 ✕ 10-19 C.] a.) If there is no x-component of the magnetic field (Bx = 0), what is the y-component of the magnetic field? b.) What is the magnitude and direction of the z-component of the magnetic field?
