A charged particle with a charge-to-mass ratio of qm=2.0×108\frac{q}{m} = 2.0 \times 10^8 C/kg enters a region with a uniform electric field E⃗=3.0×104 ȷ^\vec{E} = 3.0 \times 10^4\, \hat{\jmath} N/C and a uniform magnetic field B⃗=0.40 ı^\vec{B} = 0.40\, \hat{\imath} T. At the moment the particle enters the region, its velocity is v⃗=2.0×105 k^\vec{v} = 2.0 \times 10^5\, \hat{k} m/s. What is the initial acceleration of the particle?

A

6.0 × 10¹² î m/s²

B

1.6 × 10¹³ ĵ m/s²

C

2.2 × 10¹³ ĵ m/s²

D

(1.6 × 10¹³ î - 6.0 × 10¹² ĵ) m/s²
