The electric fields of two plane electromagnetic plane waves in vacuum are given by

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{1}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \hat{\mathrm{j}} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx})$ and

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}_{2}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \hat{\mathrm{k}} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{ky})$

At $t=0,$ a particle of charge $q$ is at origin with a velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=0.8 \mathrm{c} \hat{\mathrm{j}}$ ($c$ is the speed of light in vacuum). The instantaneous force experienced by the particle is
