Answer

$r=0.59m$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ This simplifies to $v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}$........ eq(1) We also know that $r=\frac{mv}{qB}$ Substituting value of "v" from equation (1), we obtain: $r=\frac{m\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}}{qB}$ $r=\frac{\sqrt{2(KE)m}}{qB}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $r=\frac{\sqrt{2(1.5\times 10^6)(1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.67\times 10^{-27})}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}(0.3)}$ $r=0.59m$
