Answer

$r = 1.59\times 10^{-2}~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\gamma$: $K = (\gamma-1)~mc^2 = 10.0~MeV$ $\gamma-1 = \frac{10.0~MeV}{mc^2}$ $\gamma = 1+\frac{10.0~MeV}{0.511~MeV}$ $\gamma = 20.57$ We can find $\beta$: $\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}$ $1-\beta^2 = \frac{1}{\gamma^2}$ $\beta^2 = 1-\frac{1}{\gamma^2}$ $\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\gamma^2}}$ $\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{(20.57)^2}}$ $\beta = 0.9988$ We can find the radius: $r = \frac{\gamma ~mv}{\vert q \vert B}$ $r = \frac{(20.57)(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)(0.9988)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(2.20~T)}$ $r = 1.59\times 10^{-2}~m$
