Answer

$F = (6.4\times 10^{-19}~\hat{i})~N+(8.0\times 10^{-19}~\hat{k})~N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the force on the proton due to the magnetic field: $F_B = qv\times B$ $F_B = (1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(2000\hat{j}~m/s)\times (-2.50\hat{i}~mT)$ $F_B = (8.0\times 10^{-19}~\hat{k})~N$ We can find the force on the proton due to the electric field: $F_E = q~E$ $F_E = (1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(4.00\hat{i}~V/m)$ $F_E = (6.4\times 10^{-19}~\hat{i})~N$ We can find the net force acting on the proton: $F = F_E+F_B$ $F = (6.4\times 10^{-19}~\hat{i})~N+(8.0\times 10^{-19}~\hat{k})~N$
