A particle moving in the xy plane experiences a velocity dependent force F = k(vᵧî + vₓĵ), where vₓ and vᵧ are the x and y components of its velocity v. If a is the acceleration of the particle, then which of the following statements is true for the particle?

Option 1 - <p>quantity v × a is constant in time<br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]--></p>
Option 2 - <p>F arises due to a magnetic field.<br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]--></p>
Option 3 - <p>kinetic energy of particle is constant in time.</p>
Option 4 - <p>quantity v · a is constant in time.</p>

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

mdv? /dt = kv? (1) and mdv? /dt = kv?
(2)/ (1) ⇒ dv? /dv? = v? /v?
v? dv? = v? dv?
v? ² = v? ² + C
v? ² – v? ² = C = Constant
Now, v? * a? = (v? î + v? ) * (k/m) (v? î + v? )
= (k/m) [v? ²k? – v? ²k? ] = (k/m) (v? ² – v? ²)k? = Constant.
