    a. Radius of the proton (r) = 12.85m

    b. Velocity of the proton = 24.62 * 10⁶ m/s

    c. Periodic Time (T) = 3.22 * 10⁻⁶ s

    Explanation:

    The motion of a proton can be described quantitatively and qualitatively by finding the velocity of the proton, the periodic time and radius of the proton.

    The first step is to find the Radius of the circular path.

    We would derive this formula for Force

    Force = mass * acceleration

    Where acceleration = (velocity) ² / radius

    Therefore

    Force of a proton = Force of an electron

    (mass of a proton * (velocity) ²) / radius of a proton = (mass of a electron * (velocity) ²) / radius of a electron

    Radius of a proton = (mass of a proton * radius of an electron) : mass of and electron

    Mass of a proton = 1.67 * 10⁻²⁷kg

    Mass of an electron = 9.1 * 10⁻³¹kg

    Radius of an electron = 7.0mm = 7.0 * 10m

    Radius of a proton = (1.67 * 10⁻²⁷kg * 7.0 * 10⁻³m) : 9.1 * 10⁻³¹kg

    Radius of a proton = (1.67 * 10⁻²⁷kg * 7.0 * 10⁻³m) : 9.1 * 10⁻³¹kg

    Radius of a proton = 12.85m

    b. Velocity of a proton =

    v = (B * r * q) : m

    Where B = Magnetic Flux = 0.020T

    r = radius of a proton = 12.85m

    q = charge of a proton = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs

    m = mass of a proton = 1.67 * 10⁻²⁷kg

    Velocity of a proton = (0.020T * 12.85m * 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹c) : 1.67 * 10⁻²⁷kg

    Velocity of a proton = 24.62 * 10⁶ m/s

    c. Periodic Time (T) = (2πr) : v

    where r = radius of a proton = 12.85m

    v = velocity of a proton = 24.62 * 10⁶ m/s

    T = (2 * π * 12.85m) : 24.62 * 10⁶ m/s

    = 3.22 * 10⁻⁶ s
