Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 1] · Physics · Simple Harmonic Motion
A particle's displacement is expressed by r = A( i ω t + j ω t) ....
A particle's displacement is expressed by . The motion executed by the particle is
Options
- Aon a circle
- Bon a straight line
- Cwith constant acceleration
- Dsimple harmonic
Correct answer
A. on a circle
Step-by-step solution
Given the position vector of the particle as .
The coordinates of the particle at any time are given by:
Squaring and adding both equations, we get:
This is the equation of a circle with radius and center at the origin. Therefore, the particle executes motion on a circle.
