FSA ID Reading list >> R Proton beam You are concerned that the Anterian's new weapon might penetrate the Magnetic Blanket® and so you perform a calculation. The mass of a proton is m = 1.67e-27 kg it is positively charged with q = 1.602e-19 Coulombs. The Anterian weapon fires protons with a velocity of 25000000 m/s toward your ship. The advertisement indicates that the new and improved Magnetic Blanket® generates a magnetic field of B = 2.0 Tesla.
