A charged particle (mass = 4.0 ?g, charge = 5.0 ?C) moves in a region where the only force on it is magnetic. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at a point where the speed of the particle is 5.0 km/s, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 8.0 mT, and the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the velocity of the particle is 60°?

A. 39 km/s2
B. 43 km/s2
C. 48 km/s2
D. 52 km/s2
E. 25 km/s2
