So as soon as the particle starts moving in the $x$-direction, the force will no longer be perpendicular to the velocity, and your analysis for Option 1 fails. | |

But can you tell me why my first analysis is wrong? Why cannot I take the resultant force and then analyse the situation? Anyways Thank You!! | |
