Given information
Given that, Earth’s magnetic field at the equator has magnitude 
and a northerly direction at all points.
Mass of a singly ionized uranium ion 
Charge q = +e
h = 6 Km
We are asked to find the speed of the singly ionized uranium ion that would circle the Earth 6.0 km above the equator.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We know
and, 
But the magnetic force will produce centripetal acceleration.
So,
Where re is the radius of the Earth.
