Problem Statement

Consider a charged particle of mass mmm and electric charge qqq (q>0q > 0q>0) moving parallel to the xyxyxy plane in an infinitely expanding vacuum. A constant, uniform magnetic field B=(0,0,B)\boldsymbol{B} = (0, 0, B)B=(0,0,B) (B>0B > 0B>0) is applied in the positive direction of the zzz axis. Furthermore, a time-varying, uniform electric field E=(0,E0sin⁡(ωt),0)\boldsymbol{E} = (0, E_0 \sin(\omega t), 0)E=(0,E0​sin(ωt),0) (E0>0E_0 > 0E0​>0) is applied in the direction of the yyy axis at time t≥0t \ge 0t≥0. Here, the angular frequency ω\omegaω is exactly equal to the particle's cyclotron angular frequency ωc=qBm\omega_c = \frac{qB}{m}ωc​=mqB​, and the particle is assumed to be in a resonant state.

At time t=0t = 0t=0, the charged particle was at rest at the origin (0,0,0)(0,0,0)(0,0,0). Let the particle's velocity vector be v(t)=(vx(t),vy(t),0)\boldsymbol{v}(t) = (v_x(t), v_y(t), 0)v(t)=(vx​(t),vy​(t),0). Develop the equation of motion and find the time evolution of each velocity component. Furthermore, find the kinetic energy KKK of this charged particle at time t=10πωct = \frac{10\pi}{\omega_c}t=ωc​10π​, which is the time elapsed from time t=0t = 0t=0, corresponding to 5 periods of cyclotron motion.

Assume that electromagnetic radiation from the particle and relativistic effects are all negligible.

Constraints

  • q=3.00×10−2 Cq = 3.00 \times 10^{-2} \text{ C}q=3.00×10−2 C
  • B=0.500 TB = 0.500 \text{ T}B=0.500 T
  • E0=600 V/mE_0 = 600 \text{ V/m}E0​=600 V/m

Input Format

The kinetic energy K [J]K \text{ [J]}K [J] of a particle at time t=10πωct = \frac{10\pi}{\omega_c}t=ωc​10π​ is expressed as K=Aπ2K = A \pi^2K=Aπ2 using pi π\piπ. Find the value of the coefficient AAA and input a natural number representing that value.
