A carbon-14 ion with a charge of +6.408x10^-19 C and a mass of 2.34x10^-26 kg is sent through a mass spectrometer and hits a detector at a point 10.0 cm to the left of where the beam leaves the velocity selector. The velocity selector and the detector are both in a region of magentic field of strength 0.500 T. If a carbon-12 ion (q=+6.408x10^-19 C, m= 1.99x10^-26 kg) is accelerated to the same velocity as the carbon-14 ion, where would you need to place the detector to detect it?

Please also explain and show the steps you used to get there/the physics behind why/how you got to the answer to help me better understand. Thank you soo much. Also, the work and the explanation or most important because I already have the correct answer - I'm just unsure of how to get there.
