A charged particle is in a magnetic field within a three-dimensional space described by the standard Cartesian axes x, y, z. The magnetic field strength and direction varies with time and space. Initially, the particle has velocity and . After travelling in the magnetic field for some time, the particle has travelled a distance of and has . Find (in ), the magnitude of the average acceleration of the particle. Assume there is no gravity.

Answer:
236.50
Solution:

The magnetic force does no work, so the speed is constant: . Since finally , the final velocity is purely along z: .

Time of travel: .

Velocity change:

.

Average acceleration:

- within the official range 235.00-238.00.
