An electron moves with speed 2.0 × 105 m/s in a uniform magnetic field of 1.4 T, pointing south. At one instant, the electron experiences an upward magnetic force of 1.6 × 10−14 N. In what direction is the electron moving at that instant? Be specific: give the angle(s) with respect to N, S, E, W, up, down. (If there is more than one possible answer, find all the possibilities.)
