Q)1 : Alpha particles travel through a magnetic field of 0.360T and are deflected in an arc of 0.0820m. Assuming the alpha particle are perpendicular to the field, what is the energy of an individual alpha particle?

calculate the velocity:

Bqv=Force

and force= massalpha*v^2/r
bqv=massv^2/r
solve for v.
