Answer

These particles will move out of the page: 2, 5, 6, 9, 10

Work Step by Step

Let $q$ be the charge on the particle. We can write an equation for the magnitude of the force due to the electric field: $F_E = q~E$ We can write an equation for the magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field: $F_B = q~v~B$ When $v = \frac{E}{B},$ then the magnitudes of these two forces are equal. If $v \lt \frac{E}{B}$, then the magnitude of $F_B$ increases while $F_E$ stays the same. In this case, $F_E$ dominates. If $v \gt \frac{E}{B}$, then the magnitude of $F_B$ increases while $F_E$ stays the same. In this case, $F_B$ dominates. Particle 2: $F_B$ is directed out of the page $F_E$ is directed into the page Since the speed is "Greater", then $F_B$ dominates. Particle 2 will move out of the page. Particle 5: $F_B$ is directed out of the page $F_E$ is directed out of the page Particle 5 will move out of the page. Particle 6: $F_B$ is directed out of the page $F_E$ is directed out of the page Particle 6 will move out of the page. Particle 9: $F_B = 0$ $F_E$ is directed out of the page Particle 9 will move out of the page. Particle 10: $F_B = 0$ $F_E$ is directed out of the page Particle 10 will move out of the page.
