  2. The angle betweenv→andF→islocalid="1663065819690" θ=90o
  3. The angle between v→and B→isθ=173°

Step by step solution

01

Given

v→=-2.00i^+4.00j^-6.00k^m/s

B→=2.00i^-4.00j^+8.00k^mT

02

Understanding the concept

By using the formula for magnetic force, we first find the magnetic force. After that, by taking dot product, we can find the angle between the force and velocity, and we can also find the angle between the velocity and magnetic field.

Formula:

F→=qv→×B→F→·v→=Fvcosθv→·B→=vBcosθ

(a) Calculate the magnetic force acting on the proton

The proton is having positive charge, i.e.,+e, so from the equation,

F→=qv→×B→

We can find the force asF→=+e-2.00i^+4.00j^-6.00k^×2.00i^-4.00j^+8.00k^F→=+e-2×-4k^+-2×8-j^+4×2-k^+4×8i^+-6×2j^+-6×-4-i^×10-3F→=+e8k^+16j^-8k^+32i^-12j^-24i^×10-3F→=+e8i^+4j^×10-3

Wheree=1.6×10-19C

F→=1.6×10-19×8i^+4j^×10-3F→=1.6×10-22×8i^+4j^F→=12.8i^+6.4j^×10-22N

Hence, the magnetic force acting on the proton isF→=12.8i^+6.4j^×10-22N

04

(b) Calculate the angle between v→ and  F→

We know the dot product of two vectors is

F→·v→=Fvcosθ

θis the angle between F→and B→

F→.v→=12.8i^+6.4j^×10-22×-2.00i^+4.00j^-6.00k^F→.v→=12.8i^+6.4j^×10-22×-2.00i^+4.00j^-6.00k^F→.v→=-2.56+2.56F→.v→=0

From the above equation, we can conclude that F→and v→are perpendicular to each other so that

0=Fvcosθcosθ=0θ=90°

Hence, the angle between v→and F→isθ=90°.

05

(c) Calculate the angle between v→ and  F→

Now, for finding the angle betweenv→and magnetic fieldB→we take dot product as

v→·B→=vBcosθ······1

So first find the dot product as

v→·B→=-2.00i^+4.00j^-6.00k^·2.00i^-4.00j^+8.00k^v→·B→=-4.00-16.00-48.00v→·B→=-68

Now find the magnitude of the each vector.

v→=4+16+36v→=56v→=7.48

B→=4+16+64B→=84B→=9.1

From equation we can find the angle between them.

v→·B→=vBcosθcosθ=v→·B→vB

By putting the value,

cosθ=-687.48×9.16cosθ=-6868.58cosθ=-0.9915θ=-0.9915θ=172.52θ≈173°

Hence, the angle between v→and B→isθ=173°
