(a) A cosmic ray proton moving toward the Earth at 5.00 x 107 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 1.70 x 10-16 N. What is the strength of the magnetic field if there is a 45o angle between it and the proton's velocity? (b) Is the value obtained in part (a) consistent with the known strength of the Earth's magnetic field on its surface? Discuss.
