The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is

The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is

Options

  1. Asimple harmonic but not periodic
  2. Bperiodic and simple harmonic
  3. Cneither periodic nor simple harmonic
  4. Dperiodic but not simple harmonic

Correct answer

D. periodic but not simple harmonic

Step-by-step solution

In a circular motion particle repeats after equal intervals of time. So, particle motion on a circular path is periodic but not simple harmonic as it does not execute to and fro motion about a fixed point.
