Explanation / Answer

Charge q= 2e = 2*1.6 * 10 ^ -19 C

Magnetic field B = 1.2 T

Accleration a= 2200 m / s ^ 2

Mass m = 4 * 1.67 * 10 ^ -27 kg

Force F = ma

             = 1.4696 * 10^-23 N

We know F=Bvq

From this speed of the particle v = F / Bq

                                                     = 38.27 * 10 ^ -6 m / s
