A charged particle (q=1.609 x 10-19 C) moves through a uniform magnetic field whose magnitude is 2.0T.  The field is directly parallel to the positive x-axis.  What is the magnitude and direction of the force when the particle moves in the negative y-direction with a speed of 4.0 x 104 m/s? Sketch the x-, y- and z-axes and show the direction of the magnetic field, the magnetic force and the velocity.
