A mass spectrometer is designed to separate protein fragments. The fragments are ionized by removing a single electron and then enter a 0.80 T uniform magnetic field at a speed of 2.3 * 10^5 m/s.
If a fragment has a mass that is 85 times the mass of the proton, what will be the distance between the points where the ion enters and exits the magnetic field?
