A particle of mass

m

and charge

q

is released from the origin in a region in which the electric and magnetic fields are

\mathbf{B}=-B_0\hat{\mathbf{j}}\quad\text{and}\quad\mathbf{E}=E_0\hat{\mathbf{k}}.

Find the

y

-component of the velocity and the speed of the particle as functions of its

z

-coordinate.
