    A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that:
    1. Its velocity is constant.
    2. Its acceleration is constant.
    3. Its kinetic energy is constant.
    4. It moves in a circular path.
