The Attempt at a Solution
I think this problem is deeper than it looks. Here is my FBD

So I am assuming at it actually "stops" and "drops" when the magnetic force is exactly 180 degrees with Fg and then it falls under constant velocity?
In other words
[tex]qv_{0}B = mg[/tex]
[tex]v_0 = \frac{mg}{qB}[/tex]
Then
[tex]y(t) = \frac{mgt}{qB} + y(0)[/tex]
Now my problem is, what is y(0)?
