An alpha particle travels at a velocity v of magnitude 550 m/s through a uniform magnetic field

Question:

An alpha particle travels at a velocity v of magnitude 550 m/s through a uniform magnetic field B of magnitude 0.045 T. (An alpha particle has a charge of +3.2 x 10-19 C and a mass of 6.6 x 10 27 kg.) The angle between v and B is 52°. What is the magnitude of?

(a) The force FB acting on the particle due to the field and

(b) The acceleration of the particle due to FB?

(c) Does the speed of the particle increase, decrease, or remain the same?
