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