Given blow are two statements: Statement I : SHM is not an example of uniformly accelerated motion. Statement II : SHM is the projection of uniform circular motion along one of the diameter of the circle. In light of above statement choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth statement I and statement II are correct.
  2. BStatement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.
  4. DBoth statements I and statements II are incorrect.

Correct answer

A. Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Step-by-step solution

- Statement I: SHM (Simple Harmonic Motion) is not an example of uniformly accelerated motion. This is correct because in SHM, the acceleration is not constant; it varies with displacement and is directed towards the mean position, making it non-uniformly accelerated motion. - Statement II: SHM is the projection of uniform circular motion along one of the diameters of the circle. This is also correct. SHM can be visualized as the projection of a point moving with uniform speed in a circular path onto a diameter of
