In a certain region, the earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.4 × 10-5 T and is directed north at an angle of 46° below the horizontal. An electrically charged bullet is fired north and 17° above the horizontal, with a speed of 660 m/s. The magnetic force on the bullet is 3.9 × 10-10 N, directed due east. Determine the bullet's electric charge, including its algebraic sign (+ or -).

Bats are capable of navigating using the earth's field-a plus for an animal that may fly great distances from its roost at night. If, while sleeping during the day, bats are exposed to a field of a similar magnitude but different direction than the earth's field, they are more likely to lose their way during their next lengthy night flight. Suppose you are a researcher doing such an experiment in a location where the earth's field is 50 μT at...
