20PRACTICE PROBLEM
An atom of Polonium-210 is placed within a magnetic field of strength 0.85 T. During its radioactive decay process, it releases an alpha particle. This alpha particle moves in a direction that is perpendicular to the magnetic field B, creating a circular path with a diameter of 0.80 m. Determine the energy, in MeV, that the alpha particle possessed at the time it was emitted.
