A geophysicist measures the magnetic force on a proton that is moving vertically downward at a point 1.996 km/s at the earth's equator. At that location, the earth's magnetic magnetic field is horizontal and has a strength of 0.40 × 10-4 T
What are the magnitude and direction of the force she will measure? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)
1.3 × 10-20 N, toward the east
