### Magnetic Field and Electron Motion

#### Problem Description

The uniform 30.0 mT magnetic field in the figure points in the positive \( z \)-direction. An electron enters the region of the magnetic field with a speed of \( 5.50 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \) and at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) above the \( xy \)-plane. ([Figure 1](#))

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram illustrates an electron moving in a helical path within a magnetic field. The magnetic field (\( \mathbf{B} \)) is oriented along the positive \( z \)-axis. The electron's velocity (\( \mathbf{v} \)) is initially at a \( 30^\circ \) angle above the \( xy \)-plane. The spiral trajectory is defined by its radius (\( r \)) and pitch (\( p \)), which is the linear distance between two turns of the helix along the \( z \)-axis.

#### Task

**Part A**

- **Objective:** Find the radius (\( r \)) of the electron's spiral trajectory.
- **Instructions:** Enter the answer with appropriate units in the provided field.

**Part B**

- **Objective:** Find the pitch (\( p \)) of the electron's spiral trajectory.
- **Instructions:** Enter the answer with appropriate units in the provided field.

### Additional Instructions

Submit your calculations and provide answers with the correct units for evaluation. If you need to reattempt an answer, you may request it through the system interface.
