Question

A Mass Spectrometer is set up to separate gas molecules of O2 and CO2.
Both molecules enter the machine traveling with a KE of 920 eV, where 1 eV = 1.602 (10)^-19 J.
Both molecules are singularly ionized (missing one electron).
The spectrometer applies a magnetic field of strength 1.6 T.

O2 has a mass of 32 amu and CO2 has a mass of 44 amu, where 1 amu = 1.67 (10)^-27 kg.
