Physics

In a mass spectrometer, a positive ion with chargeq=1.602x10-19 coulombs is accelerated by a potentialdifference of 1000 volts (Ec=-V). Once out of the influence of theelectric field, a uniform magnetic field of B=0.01weber/m2 deviates it into a circular trajectory of 182mradius. Determine
a) the velocity of the ion
b) the mass of the ion in kg and in units of atomic mass.
