A particle of mass 6.64 x 10-27kg and charge +2e is travelling to the right when it enters a magnetic field of 4.0 x 10-3 T directed into the page. If the particle initially has a speed of 7.0 x 104 m/s, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration acting on it? [Units: m/s2] What is the direction of the initial magnetic force acting on the particle?
