Answer

$9.9\times 10^8\frac{m}{s^2}$

Work Step by Step

We know that magnetic force is given as $F=ma=evBsin90^{\circ}$ This can be rearranged as: $a=\frac{evB}{m}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $a=\frac{(1.6\times 10^{-19})(6.5)(1.6)}{1.673\times 10^{-27}}$ $a=9.9\times 10^8\frac{m}{s^2}$
