The circular motion of a particle with constant speed is
Options
- Asimple harmonic but not periodic
- Bperiodic and simple harmonic
- Cneither periodic nor simple harmonic
- 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.
