3. In a situation like that shown below, the charged particle is a proton
(q = 1.60 x 10-19 C, m = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) and the uniform, 0.500-T magnetic field is directed along the x-axis. At t =0 the proton has velocity components vx = 1.5 x 105 m/s, vy = 0 and vz = 2.00 x 105 m/s. Only the magnetic force acts on the proton. (a) At t =0, find the force on the proton and its acceleration. (b) Find the radius of the resulting helical path, the angular speed of the proton, and the pitch of the helix (the distance traveled along the helix axis per revolution).
