Problems 1. An alpha particle is moving at 10 meters per second in the +z direction when it encounters a 2-N/C electric field directed in the +x direction and a 150-mT magnetic field directed in the +y direction. (NB: An alpha particle is simply a helium nucleus.) Determine the following: A) The electric force (magnitude and direction) acting on the alpha particle. B) The magnetic force (magnitude and direction) acting on the alpha particle C) The net force (magnitude and direction) acting on the alpha particle. - D) The resulting acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the alpha particle.
