PART B.
1. (20%)A satellite of mass m is placed in a circular orbit about Earth. The radius of the orbit is
2R where R is the radius of Earth (R = 6.37 × 106 m). A rocket then moves the satellite to a
new orbit of radius 4R.

THE PERIOD IS GREATER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 2R
THE PERIOD IS GREATER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 4R
THE PERIOD IS THE SAME IN BOTH ORBITS
b) (4%) In which orbit is the kinetic energy of the satellite higher (more positive)? (Circle
the correct answer.)
THE KINETIC ENERGY IS HIGHER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 2R
THE KINETIC ENERGY IS HIGHER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 4R
THE KINETIC ENERGY IS THE SAME IN BOTH ORBITS
c) (4%) In which orbit is the potential energy of the satellite higher (more positive)? (Circle
the correct answer.)
THE POTENTIAL ENERGY IS HIGHER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 2R
THE POTENTIAL ENERGY IS HIGHER IN THE ORBIT OF RADIUS 4R

PART C. You must show all your work or state your reasoning in order to receive credit.
1. (40%) The sketch show a proton traveling undeflected through a uniform magnetic field that
is directed into the page, and perpendicular to the direction of the proton’s velocity. The
proton is headed directly toward point P on a wall a distance d from the proton. There also is
an electric field present that cancels the force produced by the magnetic field on the proton.
a) (5%) The direction of the electric field that cancels the effect of the magnetic field is:
(Circle the correct answer.)
INTO THE PAGE
OUT OF THE PAGE
TOWARD THE TOP OF THE PAGE
TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
SOME OTHER DIRECTION
b) (5%) Imagine for a moment that the proton in the sketch is an electron. If the electron,
instead of the proton, went undeflected through the field shown, the direction of the
electric field would have to be: (Circle the correct answer.)
THE SAME DIRECTION THAT IT WAS FOR THE PROTON
OPPOSITE TO THE DIRECTION THAT IT WAS FOR THE PROTON
SOME OTHER DIRECTION
c) (7%) Now, back to the proton. The proton’s speed is v = 4.0 × 106 m/s. What is the
proton’s kinetic energy, in electron volts. (The mass of a proton is m = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)
K = ______________eV
d) (8%) The magnitude of the magnetic field in the sketch is B = 0.50 T. What is the
magnitude of the electric field that cancels the force produced by the magnetic field on
the proton.

Suddenly, the electric field is turned off, so only the force due to the magnetic field remains.
The proton does not travel in a straight line, but is deflected by the magnetic force.
e) (5%) The direction in which the proton is deflected is: (Circle the correct answer.)
INTO THE PAGE
OUT OF THE PAGE
TOWARD THE TOP OF THE PAGE
TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
SOME OTHER DIRECTION
f) (10%) With the electric field turned off, and only the magnetic force present, does the
proton reach the wall? The distance from the proton to the wall when the electric field is
turned off is d = 0.20 m. (Circle the correct answer.)
THE PROTON WILL REACH THE WALL
THE PROTON WILL NOT REACH THE WALL
If you circled THE PROTON WILL REACH THE WALL, how far will the point
where the proton hits the wall be from point P?
y = __________________

If you circled THE PROTON WILL NOT REACH THE WALL, how close to the
wall will the proton get?
