Identify the equation that DOES NOT represent oscillatory motion.
(A
(A
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let us analyze each option to determine if it represents oscillatory motion.
For the equation , the motion is a superposition of two harmonic functions with commensurable frequencies. This represents a periodic and oscillatory motion.
For the equation x = A\cos \left(\omegat - \dfrac{\pi}{4}\right), the motion is simple harmonic, which is inherently oscillatory.
For the equationy = A\sint + A\cos(t + /2)\cos(/2) = -\siny = A\sint - A\sint = 0yty = A\sin \left(\omega t - \dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)y = A\sin\omega t + A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)y = A\sin\omega t + A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)
