A particle moving in the \(xy\) plane experiences a velocity dependent force \(\overrightarrow{ F }= k \left( v _{ y } \hat{ i }+ v _{ x } \hat{ j }\right),\) where \(v _{ x }\) and \(v _{ y }\) are the \(x\) and \(y\) components of its velocity \(\overrightarrow{ v } .\) If \(\overrightarrow{ a }\) be the acceleration of the particle, then which of the following statements is true for the particle\(?\)

  1. A quantity \(\overrightarrow{ v } \cdot \overrightarrow{ a }\) is constant in time.
  2. B kinetic energy of particle is constant in time.
  3. C quantity \(\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ a }\) is constant in lime.
  4. D \(\overrightarrow{ F }\) arises due to a magnetic field.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) quantity \(\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ a }\) is constant in lime.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ dv _{ x }}{ dt }=\frac{ k }{ m } v _{ y }\) \(\frac{ dv _{ y }}{ dt }=\frac{ k }{ m } v _{ x }\) \(\frac{ d v_{ y }}{ dv _{ x }}=\frac{ v _{ x }}{ v _{ y }} \Rightarrow \int v _{ y } dv _{ y }=\int v _{ x } dv _{ x }\) \(v_{y}^{2}=v_{x}^{2}+C\)…
