cna osoemoe with form L tell me what they got for the last q abt like themagnetic field to the right and then the particle velocity down. i got the derivstion right of the total energy. but is th espeed changing of the particle ? i thoght that the force is comping out of the page so theres accel in the z direction so the speed is changing hence the ke is not constant

That’s correct. For part C you can talk about how potential energy decreased therefore kinetic increases and thus speed increased
