A small object with a charge of 𝑞 = +3.0 μ𝐶 and a mass 𝑚 = 2.0 × 10^-6 𝑘𝑔 enters a magnetic field of magnitude 𝐵 = 0.20 𝑇 directed into the page, as shown in the figure below. If the speed of the object is 1000 𝑚/𝑠, the object’s acceleration at the moment it enters the field is most nearly ______.

• zero because the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field

• 300 m/s² toward the bottom of the page

• 300 m/s² toward the top of the page

• 600 m/s² toward the bottom of the page

• 600 m/s² toward the top of the page
