A particle is executing two different simple harmonic motions,...

A particle is executing two different simple harmonic motions, mutually perpendicular, of different amplitudes and having phase difference of π2\frac{\pi}{2}. The path of the particle will be

Options

  1. Acircular
  2. Bstraight line
  3. Cparabolic
  4. Delliptical

Correct answer

D. elliptical

Step-by-step solution

As the different amplitudes are mutually perpendicular which have phase difference of π2\frac{\pi}{2}. Therefore, particle will follow elliptical path.
