Q.

A positively charged particle moves in mutually perpendicular electric field  E and magnetic field B such that both are uniform and constant. At time, t=0   its velocity is vo  (voB and  voE;  figure). It is given  E=voB. Let the velocity vector of the particle at the moments of time when its velocity vector makes an angle 1800 with initial velocity vector vo  be v . Then find the value of  |v||vo|

Let's write the equation of particle motion along the X axis (Fig.): 
 mdvxdt=qvyB
Where   m is mass, q  -is  particle charge. The solution to this equation has the form   vx(t)=v0qBmy
At those moments in time t=tn,  when the particle velocity v  makes angle be180 with  the initial velocity vector,
  vx(tn)=  v  andy(tn)=v0+vqBm
 According to the law of conservation of energy, mv022+qEy(tn)=mv22.  Provided that E = voB we get a quadratic equation v22v0v3v02=0 , from where we find the required speed:  v=3v0
