Physics

singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potentialdifference of 2.00KV and wnter a uniform magnetic field ofmagnitude 1.20 T directed perpendicular to their velocities.Significance of this problem:
99% of all uranium that comes out of the ground (uranium mine)is U238. But it is U235 that is used for nuclear power plants (3~6%U235) and nuclear weapons (~90% U235). So the concentration of U235must be increased (enriched). The concentration of U235 is whatmust be tested by inspectors when they go to a suspected location(in North Korea, or Iran, or …).
a) For U238 which has mass m = 238 amu (atomic mass units),what is the mass?
b) What is the work done to accelerate the U238 ion?
c) What is the speed of the U238 ion?
d) Find the radius and diameter of the path of the ion.
