A particle is executing two different simple harmonic motions, mutually perpendicular, of different amplitudes and having phase difference of 2 . The path of the particle will be
Options
- Acircular
- Bstraight line
- Cparabolic
- Delliptical
Correct answer
D. elliptical
Step-by-step solution
As the different amplitudes are mutually perpendicular which have phase difference of 2 . Therefore, particle will follow elliptical path.
